312283 - Firefox ignores localhost and/or 127.0.0.1 on "no proxy for" list

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Mikhail Stukalov]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1

My no-proxy-for list is:
"*dell.*;*.dell.*;163.244.*;10.*;143.266.*;localhost;127.0.0.1"

However, Firefox navigates to localhost through proxy! IE doesn't do that and
displays my local webserver homepage correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
Request should not go through proxy with requested host on "no proxy for" list.

The exclusion list doens't use the IE's star syntax.
(there's a comment below that explains how to use it !)

V/dupe.

Firefox should have ignored localhost w/ the original settings. You should try a
new profile and see.

To get your config working, see if:

http://www.mozilla.org/quality/networking/docs/aboutno_proxy_for.html

helps. It might be out of date, so let me know.

REOPEN:
actually thinking this isn't the same syntactical problem as 260883, so
reopening, until reporter's config is working, then I'll dupe.
