Bug#668844: glib-networking-services: glib-pacrunner does not run local pac-files

[Chow Loong Jin]

Package: glib-networking-services
Version: 2.32.0-1ubuntu1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream patch

Dear Maintainer,

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.

This bug is also reported at
