Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[[e-mail] (gone - use [e-mail] instead)]

Build ID: 7-8-2002, Windows 2000 trunk.

Summary: Java applets fail to initialize with SOCKS Proxy 5.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.  Enable a SOCKS Proxy 5 connection and load:
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/browser/front-end/testcases/oji/lifecycletest1.html

Expected Results:

Applet initializes.

Actual Results:

Applet fails to init.

Additional information from Bradley Baetz:

We need to talk to the java folks. ns4 only supported SOCKS v4, and 
so the old proxy API only discussed SOCKS v4. We need to get a new PAC 
code for SOCKS5 (bug 78176), and then get java to talk to it. SOCKS has no 
versioning compatability scheme, unfortunately.

Currently Java Plug-in (JRE) does not support socks 5. It has been proposed as 
an RFE for next release of JRE.

Can we/should we move this over to that component in Bugzilla, then?

Comment 6

[Rob Jaworski]

changing component to oji.

resolving as invalid since this is a limitation of the jre, not mozilla.
