How do I configure Subclipse to use a "Dynamic Proxy"?

I've been getting "RA Layer Request Failed" whenever I try connecting to my subversion location. Accessing them through my IE browser gives me no problem at all.

This isn't a duplicate of this question: "RA layer request failed" error with Subclipse, no errors with web browser

It says there that I have to edit the file: c:\Documents and Settings_username_\Application Data\Subversion\servers or ~/.subversion/servers

But that is only applicable if the host name and port number are both given. But we're using a dynamic proxy, that is, host name and port are not given hence dynamic. To give you an idea how our proxy settings are configured, in my IE8, Tools -> Internet Options -> LAN Settings dialogue box, the "Automatic detect settings" and "Use automatic configuration script" are both ticked. And the URL to "Address" field is filled in. I think this configuration is called "Dynamic Proxy" where the info about your proxy is automatically detected.

How do I tell subclipse to do the same thing?

I doubt Subversion has the functionality to operate correctly in such an environment. I think the best you can do is read this article http://techblog.mirabito.net.au/?p=21 , then get hold of the proxy PAC file, and work out by inspection, the correct (static) proxy settings to use.
