A list of proxy strings is returned. If the first proxy fails, the second should be tried, etc... In all cases, at least one entry in the list will be returned. There are no error conditions. Regarding performance: this method always blocks and may be called in a separate thread (is thread-safe). In most cases, the time required to complete this function call is simply the time required to read the configuration (e.g from GConf, Kconfig, etc). In the case of PAC, if no valid PAC is found in the cache (i.e. configuration has changed, cache is invalid, etc), the PAC file is downloaded and inserted into the cache. This is the most expensive operation as the PAC is retrieved over the network. Once a PAC exists in the cache, it is merely a JavaScript invocation to evaluate the PAC. One should note that DNS can be called from within a PAC during JavaScript invocation. In the case of WPAD, WPAD is used to automatically locate a PAC on the network. Currently, we only use DNS for this, but other methods may be implemented in the future. Once the PAC is located, normal PAC performance (described above) applies.
