111231 - Proxy support fails with junkbuster

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 38488

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[John Snell]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120
BuildID:    20011112009

Proxy support hasn't worked with the junkbuster proxy since 0.92.  I kept being
lazy and not reporting it, since 0.92 works ok, but no longer.  :>

It seems to forget the host that it's working with.  Enter CNN.com.  Now enter
google.com (into the location bar).  Notice that Mozilla is trying to access
some of googles resources on cnn.com, and errors are being generated.  Or that
nothing happens at all.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up a basic junkbuster installation
(http://www.junkbusters.com/ht/en/ijbwin.html#zip) - make sure to set it to open
up the console window (in the config file, a debug option) and print out the
URLs that are being requested of it.
2.Configure Mozilla to use it for an HTTP proxy, socks 4 or socks 5.
3.Access www.cnn.com (or any other site)
4.Access a www.news.com (or any other site, different than the previous one)
5.  Notice that things don't work.  (errors, trying to load one site's resources
from another site, not trying to load anything)

Actual Results:  Things don't work.

Expected Results:  Things should work.

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

not mozilla's fault, junkbuster is buggy (broken)

workaround:
please set edit/preferences/debug/networking/Http Version: 1.0

(Please read the release notes.... and/or search at bugzilla
or use : QA/known bugs/#4 in that list)
