1545713 - default no proxy list shall include ::1

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1507110

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

Now in network settings in about:preferences, you have localhost and 127.0.0.1 as default no proxy list.
But ::1 shall be also included as a help for IPv6 users.

I'm not sure this is where this belongs, but hopefully Firefox :: Preferences is closer to the mark than Firefox :: General.

Junior, do you know why ::1 is not included like localhost/127.0.0.1 ?

My previous work kinda keeps the same situation, i.e., prevent proxy-ing localhost/127.0.0.1 only.
Actually localhost has lots of aliases, e.g., ipv4 normalization.

We might prevent proxy-ing ::1 first since it's common in ipv6.

Oops, I check the code but ::1 is already considered in firefox 67

Hello reporter,
What version Firefox does cause this issue at your side?

Comment 6

[Junior [inactive]]

I'd like to mark this as dup.
If we won't avoid proxy-ing ::1 for firefox 67 or newer, please reopen it.

I don't actually see this added to preferences UI even on 67 or newer. But some tests seem passed.

localhost and 127.0.0.1 should be removed from the list (through update with the same profile), since we intentionally prevent proxy-ing localhost.
