Proxy Automatic Configuration not functioning on M14

Details
On Windows NT4.0, configuring Mozilla Seamonkey M14 to use an automatic proxy
config does not seem to be functioning. The script works for Netscape 4.5/4.72
and IE4/5 on WinNT.
When I enter the URL of the script (diapac.pl) exactly as it appears in IE5 and
Netscape 4.72 into the automatic config box, and then click 'reload' it
generates no error. If I then click OK, and enter a URL, say www.mozilla.org, I
get the '<URL> not found. Please check the name and try again' dialog.
The script is a perl script, but I am unfortuantely unable to get at the source
of it, as the web server on which it resides refuses to allow me to view it.
This problem also affected M12 and M13 on win32, but I have not tried it on
other operating systems than NT.

I have, with the help of Andreas (andenews@hotmail.com) managed to get the
source of the script.
// Start script
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
var newHost = host.toLowerCase();
if (shExpMatch(newHost, "ccc002.common.global.chase.com")) {
return "PROXY lwapss32.london.uk.chase.com:8080";
}
return "PROXY 169.193.1.50:8081;" +
"PROXY 169.192.1.30:8081;" +
"PROXY dianew.chase.com:8081";
// End script
}
As you can see, it is not as I first thought a perl script (duh), but given the
/cgi-bin/diapac.pl?uk1 ending to autoconfig URL, then it seems that a perl
script is generating this javascript. In any case, it still works in netscape
and IE and not seamonkey M14.
Note, if I manually set the proxy to one of the values given in the script, it
works, almost correctly. Actually, it asks for my username and password ad
infitum, drawing a bit more of the current page each time. But that's a
different issue.

Here, we have a password protected Proxy (Squid v2) and automagic client
configuration. Our Firewall blocks access on Port 80.
M14 doesn't load any page and gives a "Connection to xxx timed out" after a
while. Changing the configuration to "manual" and giving the hostname and port
of our proxy gives the (on Linux not working) password dialog.
