Patch to check for file:// before dropping to wpad:// (935 bytes, patch)

Description Chow Loong Jin 2012-04-14 20:14:42 UTC 
Also filed at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib-networking/+bug/981856:

When using a local pac file via file:///path/to/pac-file.pac, glib-pacrunner falls back upon wpad://, thus using either a wrongly-obtained pac file via wpad, or not being able to find a pac file to run in the first place.

This causes issues with Liferea's Webkit-based HTML-view, and probably a couple of other applications I haven't noticed as well.
