111289 - Proxy: noproxy for non-fully qualified domain name doesn't work

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 91587

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[A. Sapuntzakis]

Mozilla 0.9.6 configured to use a proxy server, except for 'company.com'

If I fully specify a web server on my subnet 'deptweb.sector.company.com:port', 
everything works fine.

If I just specify 'deptweb:port', I get a 502 Bad Gateway / DNS lookup error.
I believe that Mozilla isn't recognizing (or trying) that as being a 'local
address', but rather is going directly to the proxy server, which can't
resolve the domain name.

IE 5.x provides a separate configuration option to "bypass proxy for local
addresses' under Tools/Internet Options/Connections/LAN Settings/Proxy Server.
Unchecking the option produces the same behavior as Mozilla.

Reporter:
have you filed your local adress in the proxy settings ("No Proxy for:" field) ?

If yes -> dupe of bug 91587

Yes, that's what I meant by:

  configured to use a proxy server, except for 'company.com'

so I guess it's a duplicate. However, I disagree with the
assertion (in 91587) that 'web' gets expanded to 'www.web.com'.
In my setup, if I type 'yahoo', I still get a '502 Bad Gateway /
DNS Lookup' error.

Shouldn't this be a dupe of bug 72444?

We don't have a way of doing what you want via the existing "no proxy for"
implementation.
