104057 - Cannot install Java plugin when behind proxy

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Dhruva Reddy]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4+) Gecko/20010928
BuildID:    2001092808

I don't know if this has been fixed since the specified build, and am no longer
in a position to find out.

When I go to a site with a Java applet, it tries to download the Java plugin. 
However, it cannot seem to make the necessary FTP connection--it is as if the
proxy settings are ignored.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Set browser to use proxy (10.6.6.1:80 for all protocols)
2.  Point browser to http://javasoft.com
3.  Accept when prompted to download Java Plugin.



Actual Results:  It tries to connect but eventually times out.

Expected Results:  I would have expected the Plugin to download successfully,
after having set the proxy settings properly.

System Info:  I use the unstable Debian distribution, with 2.4.10 kernel.

Reporter: 
Is that a FTP Proxy ? 
Can you visit other FTP URLs without a problem ?
If yes: We had a few FTP bug fixes in the last days, can you retest with a more
recent build ?

False alarm--I have confirmed that the problem was with the proxy server.
