Why ? The proxyscout code will always detect the URL is the same as the one it 
is trying to download and return "DIRECT". See 
kdelibs/kio/misc/kpac/proxyscout.cpp around line 66.

Not yet. We all understand the problem, but we do not know the cause...
Can you please add debug statements to the below the line mentioned about and 
see if you ever get to it when the proxy attempts to download the script 
file... BTW, I cannot duplicate this at all! It works fine for me... There 
must be something else going on here....
