PAC works but not WPAD (with firefox)

I have the following option in /etc/dhcpd.conf:
----
# automatic web proxy configuration
option wpad                  code 252 = text;
option wpad                  "http://sit.iitkgp/proxy.pac\n";
----

If I use "Automatic proxy configuration url as
 "http://sit.iitkgp/proxy.pac", then mozilla works fine.

However, if I try the "Auto-detect proxy settings for the network",
then there is a failure. What could be the problem?

Note that the lease obtained from the DHCP server contains the
following record:

option unknown-252
68:74:74:70:3a:2f:2f:73:69:74:2e:69:69:74:6b:67:70:2f:70:72:6f:78:79:2e:70:61:63:a;

-C
