Interpretting .pac script using QScriptEngine()

[Saranakumardb]

Hi,

I'm trying to interpret .pac script using QScriptEngine(). .pac is nothing but a javascript which is used by web browser/http client to get proxy details.

Here is my code:

main()
{
QScriptEngine engine;
QString str, str1, str2; int i=0;
QFile scriptFile("proxy.pac");
bool bRes = scriptFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly|QIODevice::Tex t);
str = scriptFile.readAll();// has entire code

bRes = engine.canEvaluate(str);
QScriptValue ctor = engine.evaluate(str);
scriptFile.close();

ctor = engine.evaluate("FindProxyForURL(\"/mail\", \"www.google.com\")");
bRes = ctor.isError(); // returns true

str1 = ctor.toString(); // returns {"ReferenceError: dnsResolve is not defined"}
}

Output: Please refer comments in the above code.
It looks QScriptEngine does not have dnsResolve() method.

Simple .pac script will look like this,

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
url = url.toLowerCase();
host = host.toLowerCase();
hostIP = dnsResolve(host);
if (hostIP == false)
var hostIP = "1.2.3.4";
if (shExpMatch(host, "myhost.mycompany.com") {
alert("AutoCache Running Info \nPAC File:" + pacname);
}
if (isInNet(hostIP, "221.11.22.33", "255.255.255.0")
return "DIRECT1";
if (shExpMatch(host, "techdomain.myhost.abcorg.com"))
return SECONDARYPROXY;
return MAINPROXY;
}

And this javascript uses mainly below mentioned functions,
dnsResolve()
isInNet()
shExpMatch()
isResolvable()
isPlainHostName()
dnsDomainIs()

I'm sure some you have faced this problem and overcome this, if so, could you please help in this?

Thanks in advance...

Implement your own resolver function based on what Qt offers or even ignore the pac file and do the whole resolving in a native function.
