A better approach to this is, perhaps, is to follow the standart client's way of autodetecting wpad settings for a given network.

I.e. If you have a properly setup network, the clients (in automatic setup mode) resolve and use http://wpad.<localdomain>/wpad.dat [^]

So i guess you'd be better off to adjust your dns config or use a custom string in udhcpd (not sure if this is implemented, though) rather than adding stuff like this proposed hardcoded string.

It is generally good idea, but not always possible. It is depends on customer PC settings, and for public places where i plan to use my embedded internet cafe server, it is almost impossible. Additionally dhcp option add more flexibility for me (it can be even just ip and not wpad.dat, for example http://192.168.1.1/ie5.dat). [^]

Custom string is not implemented, but it is MUCH better way, cause it is more flexible, and developers can cut all that hardcoded options and just do new style config.
