Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0 Build ID: 20160425114621 Steps to reproduce: 1. Set HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY environment variables to proxy server, e.g "HTTP_PROXY="http://proxy.bigcorp.co.uk:3128/" 2. Set Firefox to "Use system proxy settings" 3. Visit https://slack.com/help/test 4. Observe the websocket connections fail 5. Set proxy values manually in "Advanced->Network->Connection" to be *the same values* 6. Visit https://slack.com/help/test 7. Observe the websocket connection succeed Actual results: The websocket connection fails when using the system proxy Expected results: The websocket connection should succeed in both cases, if the values of the "HTTP/S_PROXY" environment variables are the same as the "Manual proxy configuration" then I expect both to work. This only happens with Websockets as far as I can tell.
