124107 - can't use socks for imap

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 44995

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Vincent Bailleau]

I'm connected to a socks 5 server and I can't use socks to share my external
IMAP server's. Using sockscap program help me to accomplish this task but it
isn't a solution. The 89500 bug report sais this fix is resolved but currently
not for me.
This features never run on older Mozilla version.

Vincent, what build are you using?  Which proxy server are you using?  Does it
work for http/https?

I'm using Mozilla 0.9.8 / Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US;
rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204,
Socks server is working with http/https/ftp/css but not with imap. The socks
server is a v5 version, but i didn't have any information
about the server type.
The osck server work in parallele or not with a conventionnal proxy server, but
the proxy server is blocking imap request (143), in other way
(not mozilla) the socks server is working....

Don't hesitate to contact me if you need more information

Look fixed in the following version:
Mozilla 0.9.9+

I didn't test this release on Linux

The socks function work, but the no proxy field doesn't work.
I set manually both proxy and socks, proxy need "no proxy for local address"
but this rule may apply also for socks.

So, a bug on this part still exist. 

It may be also interresting to choice services
concerned by socks or not.

thank for your help

Dupe of bug 44995.

The "no proxy for" field should behave the same for socks as it does for http -
if you are seeing differences, please file another bug.

There is a separate bug on local names being able to bypass proxies.
