Yes, you have to run the PAC script every time. But you don't have to:

 - load a fresh copy of the WebKit library into a process which didn't
   previously have it
 - work out where the PAC file comes from (by asking ConnMan)
 - download the PAC file
 - parse/interpret the PAC file for the first time

Pushing WebKit into *every* client seems like the wrong approach.
