404 is weird. That's a "page not found" response from a server, not a proxy.

Uh, that's a 200 OK.

But what you see there is a PAC page, which is used to tell browsers what
proxy to use for what host name. See

You can probably read it and based on what URL you want to fetch use the proxy
that the javascript in there would pick.
