Selenium + Python + Internet Explorer + Firm Proxy + PAC file + Credentials

Question

I am using Selenium + Python to browse internet. Unfortunately, it does not work with Internet Explorer (but it works with Chrome) at my firm, surely because there is a proxy and the need to use a PAC file to browse internet in my firm.

Here is my code :

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import ProxyType
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.ie.webdriver import WebDriver as Ie


ie_path=...
url_of_the_pac_file=...

caps = DesiredCapabilities.INTERNETEXPLORER
caps["proxy"] = {"proxyType": "pac","proxyAutoconfigUrl": url_of_the_pac_file}


driver=Ie(executable_path=ie_path,capabilities=caps,port=8080)
driver.get("http://www.google.com")

Each time I run this code, I have this message :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\TEST\Desktop\demo\demo_ie.py", line 34, in <module>
    driver=Ie(executable_path=ie_path,capabilities=caps,port=8080) #, capabilities=caps, port=0, timeout=30, host=None, log_level=None, log_file=log_path, ie_options=None)

It seems it requires my credentials but I don't know how to do that. Thanks for your help!

If you are using python 2.7, you can use the following code to disable proxy setting on the browser.

urllib2.getproxies = lambda: {}
driver=Ie(executable_path=ie_path,capabilities=caps,port=8080)
driver.get("http://www.google.com")
