eroman will know more, but we already do support this.  If the PAC is marked as mandatory (by policy, I believe?), we don't fall back to direct on error.

Comment #2 is correct.

When using the system integration for proxy settings, the behavior is as noted in comment #0: a failure fetching the PAC script falls back to DIRECT per the normal interpretation of proxy settings.

One can change this behavior by instead setting the proxy settings via the extension API (https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/proxy). When setting it from this location you can set mandatory=true. This will make a failure fetching the PAC script unrecoverable.

Hi,

I am at the origin of this request for change.

The solution described in Comment #3 does not answer to my need because I am forced to develop/use an extension in order to configure the Chrome proxy with the API.

I wish I could do this natively with a Chrome policy.

Bests regards,

M. Francois BOYER.
