125445 - Proxy: proxy->client error displays target hostname in message.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 56629

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Raffaele Spazzoli]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120
BuildID:    2001112009

if the configured proxy is unavalible, mozilla report that it can't connect to
the URL you're asking instead to the proxy's URL. This can be misleading and may
require some time to discover the problem. Of course this happen if your
changing often the connection setting, that is unlikely my case. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.configure a wrong proxy : pippo.proxy.com
2.connect to a site       : www.amazon.com
3.

Actual Results:  www.amazon.com could not be found. Please check the name and
try again.

Expected Results:  The proxy pippo.proxy.com could not be found. Please check
the name and try again.

The duplicate is marked for mozilla 1.0.1, which means "first priority after 1.0
is completed."

Some of this worked correctly in the status field of the browser window, so this
is  doable, maybe a good starter bug for someone.

One final comment:

To clarify a point you were making "mozilla report that it can't connect to
the URL you're asking instead to the proxy's URL"

Just so you know, the problem is with the hostname, not the entire URL. The
hostname is only one piece of info in a URL.
