1216413 - WebRTC - HTTP/1.1 407 proxy authentication required - Firefox ESR 38.1.0

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1115934

(Core :: WebRTC: Signaling, defect)

Description

[Remya]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10) AppleWebKit/600.1.25 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0 Safari/600.1.25

Steps to reproduce:

The WebRTC call fails when using Firefox ESR 38.1.0 in corporate network.
In the same network conditions Firefox ESR 31.5 is working fine.



Actual results:

When I checked the packet capture using Wireshark I found the issue is happening when trying to connect to TURN server. (I'm using rfc5766-turn-server). Its showing "HTTP/1.1 407 proxy authentication required"

In the Firefox connection log I can see : "(generic/ERR) nr_socket_proxy_tunnel_read unable to connect 407"


Expected results:

Connection should go through and able to establish webRTC call

Can you run with NSPR_LOG_MODULES=mtransport:4,signaling:4 NSPR_LOG_FILE=some_log_file, and also upload the connection logs? Thanks

The error message "nr_socket_proxy_tunnel_read unable to connect" comes from code which uses the configure HTTP proxy (if one is configured). As this feature landed in 38 it makes sense that the behavior is different with 31.5.

Looks like your proxy requires authentication, which we don't support. See bug 1115934 for that.
If it worked with 31.5 I would recommend to try it without the proxy or put the WebRTC calling service/page on the list of exceptions for your proxy.
