165679 - Proxy: change in settings not recognized

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Axel Braun]

This is new, as it worked in previous verions of moz:
While you are connected to the internet (w/o proxy), change the settings and put
a proxy in place. Now dial-in to the network that requires this proxy to connect
and select a site from your bookmarks (maybe one that you havent visited during
the session) -> the site is not found. After restarting Moz it works. Same
problem appears vice-versa. Build is 2002081208

Did you try creating a new window? In the past, the changes have affected only a
new window for me.

Comment 2

[Axel Braun]

No, didnt try the new window, before it worked in the same window. can try
probably tomorrow

Comment 3

[Axel Braun]

Tried it today: The change of proxy settings was not recognized on a new tab or
a new window. Just the restart worked.

darin: can you look at this problem description and explain how you think it
should  behave?

The behavior has been inconsistent to me in the past.

Comment 5

[Darin Fisher]

with the current state of things, the proxy changes should only effect new
connections.  since we reuse connections, it's possible that any old connections
would continue to be used even after the proxy settings change.  what we really
need is to close any open socket connections when proxy settings change.

Axel:

can you please enable some environment variables for us to collect some mozilla
logs:

  export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=nsHttp:5
  export NSPR_LOG_FILE=/tmp/http.log

then run mozilla from the terminal, reproduce the problem, exit mozilla, and
upload the /tmp/http.log file to this bug report.  thx!

Seems that it got somewhat better:
Started Moz, went to heise.de. Then changed settings and dialed in to customer.
On the same window, tried comdirect.de -> seemed not to work. opened new window
-> comdirect again -> Was ok. on first window it was also recognized. another
page, then changed proxy setting again. terminated the dial-in. tried to
comdirect: not working. New window -> worked
If this was too unstructured let me know ;-)

Reporter can you reproduce this bug with a newer build (1.4 final)?

Comment 11

[benc]

based on Darin's comments, this needs more detailed analysis for confirmation.

Comment 12

[Andreas Kunz]

Axel, so this didn't happen anymore?

Comment 13

[Axel Braun]

I tried it with build 2004042110, it works as it should - no restart reqired.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
