105419 - PAC: does not work when "Direct" is followed by proxy

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 84798

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Matthias Morche]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011
BuildID:    2001101117

Proxy Autoconfiguration does not work, if there are patterns like:
if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".sat1.de"))
    return "DIRECT; PROXY proxywww.sat1.de:8080";
If there is anything behind the "DIRECT" the nsProxyAutoConfig.js fails in line 95.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a squid cache :-)
2. setup a proxy.pac, which contains
if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".mydomain.mycountry"))
  return "DIRECT; PROXY mysquidcache.mydomain.mycountry:8080";
3. Surf to "http://myapache.mydomain.mycountry" using the above proxy.pac

Actual Results:  You get a blank screen and an appropriate errormessage on the
javascript console (if open).



Expected Results:  The addressed page has to pop up.


I believe that every platform suffers from this problem, if presented with.

bug 84798 covers failover (return "proxy1:port; proxy2:port; ...") not working.
 When that's fixed, this should no longer break the parsing.

Your PAC still won't do anything -- "DIRECT" is always a valid proxy, so what
follows won't ever be used.
