139118 - browser uses proxy server when it shouldn't

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Mats Larsson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417
BuildID:    rv:1.0rc1

I have proxy on port 8080 whith exception for the Intranet-server,
which gives me the remote address of the client so that I can give them the
right Internal page.
This works fine in Explorer Netscape Opera and so on, but not with Mozilla.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use proxy
2. exclude Intranet server
3. proxy is used anyway

Actual Results:  I don't get the address 10.0.62.34 of the client on the
Intranet, but I get the broadcast adress instead 172.16.15.254.
So I can't use Mozilla for Intranet!!!

Expected Results:  It should give my PHP-script  REMOTE_ADDRESS=10.0.62.34 like
all other browsers I have tried.

What are the exact settings you have for your proxies? What is in the 'no proxy
for' box?

changing severity, and clarifying summary to what the problem is - remote_* is
just the ip being used.

My proxysettings are
10.0.60.1:8080
10.0.62.1:8080
and
10.0.63.1:8080
on the 3 nets
No proxy for
10.0.62.16
which is the IP for the Intranet server
I use REMOTE_HOST to get the IP-address of the client
to separate the 3 different internal IP-nets
But I get REMOTE_HOST=172.16.15.254 for all clients
the same that I get whith no proxy for = empty in
Netscape and Explorer

Are you accessing the remote server by IP, or by name? Entering an IP will only
match if you refer to it by IP, as in http://a.b.c.d/

What does: "But I get REMOTE_HOST=172.16.15.254 for all clients the same that I
get whith no proxy for = empty in Netscape and Explorer" mean? mozilla doens't
send REMOTE_HOST at all.

If you tell it to use a direct connection to the internet, does it work corectly
for internal sites?
