109526 - mozilla hangs frequently when used with HTTP proxy

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[JKras]

Mozilla build ID: 2001110903
HTTP Proxy Server: Squid/2.4.STABLE2

I noticed that the last few Mozilla builds (last week or so) have problems with
the proxy connections. It works fine for a while via an HTTP proxy and then it
stops responding, I click on a link and nothing happens anymore. I have to shut
down Mozilla and restart it and then it works again. At the same time the proxy
server is OK and so are the sites as I can access them just fine from IE.

Note that things were fine until last week or so. There were no upgrades in the
version of the proxy server I am using, the only thing upgraded was my version
of Mozilla.

I have Mozilla configured to use HTTP/1.1, Enable Keepalive, Enable pipelining.
I also tried setting HTTP/1.0 and disabling keepalives and pipelining but it
does not seem to make a difference.

I tried looking for simillar bugs but I could not find one quite like this.

Two people in Japan reported they can't see authentification dialog
via http proxy(Squid, WinGate, Delegate).

reporter: can you reproduce this problem using a more recent nightly build?

Seems to be OK now with the 11/20 build, Mozilla 0.9.6

I guess you can close this bug if other users don't have the same problem.
