The existing "automatically detect script file" requires you to know a URL, e.g.
http://wpad.kde.org/wpad.dat. That URL can come from DHCP, DNS well-known-name
(wpad), or DNS SRV records. I implemented all three for linux, and provide the
first match, which you may then use as the "automatically detect script file".
Anecdotal evidence of its usefulness: my friend took a Knoppix CD to a school
he works at to show them. He booted it and brought up Konq, and--web no worky.
IE's what they use.
