151879 - unable to connect to secure server thru web proxy

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[erik_habbinga]

When I try to connect to a secure server (i.e. www.netflix.com) I get a dialog
box stating "The connection was refused when attempting to contact
www.netflix.com".  I work at HP, and this request is going through HP's web
proxys.  Internet Explorer 5.5 allows me to login to netflix without problems. 
I also have problems logging in to Yahoo from the http://my.yahoo.com page.  I
need to go to the "Sign in" page
(http://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.done=http://my.yahoo.com/&lg=&partner=&.intl=&.src=my)
to successfully login to my.yahoo.com

Please use the Bugzilla Helper to report bugs.

Reporter, are you still seeing this on the latest trunk build? Are you trying to
go through a Microsoft Proxy Server?

Reporter says in e-mail: "I just downloaded Mozilla 1.1 alpha (Mozilla/5.0
(Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020611) and I get the same
behaviour, I can't log into www.netflix.com."

Does it work with a new, unaltered profile? You can post your comments directly

Reporter: 
Do you use automatic proxy setup or manual ?
if manual : Have you also added the proxy for SSL ?

via Mail :
>Manual proxy setup, and I didn't have SSL proxy set up.  I just put the same

>I can login to netflix and yahoo now just fine.  I've got the "Use the same
>proxy server for all protocols" checkbox set in my IE configuration, maybe
>Mozilla should have a similar option?
