Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Duncan McDonald]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:44.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/44.0
Build ID: 20160210153822

Steps to reproduce:

For any PAC time-based function:

1. weekdayRange("SUN", "SAT") versus weekdayRange("SAT", "SUN")
2. dateRange("JAN", "DEC") versus DateRange("DEC", "JAN")
3. timeRange(0, 23) versus timeRange(23, 0)



Actual results:

1. weekdayRange("SUN", "SAT") will always evaluate to true.  WeekdayRange("WED", "SUN") will only evaluate true if the current day is Wednesday or Sunday.

2. dateRange("JAN", "DEC") will always evaluate to true. DateRange("DEC", "JAN") will only evaluate true if the current month is December or January.

3. timeRange(0, 23) will always evaluate to true. TimeRange(23, 0) will only evaluate true if the current hour is 23:00 or midnight.


Expected results:

days, dates, and times should "wrap" so that the range WED, SUN should include WED, THURS, FRI, SAT, SUN. See PAC documentation https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/Necko/Proxy_Auto-Configuration_%28PAC%29_file
