Web Proxy Auto-Discovery


The Wikipedia article Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol is very informative about this topic.
This will only be used when the web browser is configured to auto-detect proxy settings. With the domain wpad.army this service is available for all the *.army domains which do not run their own WPAD service. It delivers a wpad.dat to the browser and tells it to use the direct internet connection without any proxy server.
