It's unfortunate that this shares no code with SocketStreamHandleCFNet.cpp.

We prefer early return on error.

No.

I'd expect a "break" here. Not sure how to prove it though.

No ".0" per coding style.

This is a wrong run loop to use on Windows.

Cool. I'll convert the FIXME to an assertion.

Breaking here would mean we'd bail out without processing any further entries in the array of proxies. Why is that better than continuing to process further entries?

Can you elaborate on why this would matter when the intent is to synchronously run a nested runloop?

Now that I'm aware of it, I agree! It shouldn't be too complicated to refactor such that  SocketStreamHandleCFNet can share code with this. That's something to think about in the future though.

PAC is always going to return an answer (I don't know what happens if it's undefined, raises an exception, or is just in wrong form, but I expect that to be equivalent to DIRECT). I don't understand how further entries could ever be of use.

Actually, you're probably right, I don't see why it shouldn't work for synchronous loading. For async calls, callbacks do not arrive to main run loop because it's not a CFRunLoop, so we use a separate thread running loaderRunLoop().

I'm not sure that it matters either way what we do in this situation since we should never be receiving a kCFProxyTypeAutoConfigurationURL back in the proxy information after evaluating the PAC file. I've updated the patch to ASSERT this, and I'm going to leave the "continue" in only as a means of ensuring that this can't cause a crash in release builds if the assumption is incorrect.

That matches my understanding. I'll leave this code using CFRunLoopGetCurrent() for now.
