160091 - localhost or 127.0.0.1 hosts do not bypass proxy settings

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Dan Burgess]

Trying to access local files through the inbuilt web server results in a 'host
not found' error from the proxy server. (Chimera 0.4)

WFM Mac OS X 10.1.5, Chimera 0.4, Privoxy 2.9.14 @ 127.0.0.1:8118 enabled
(http://localhost/~nik/, http://127.0.0.1/~nik/).

Mac OS X 10.1.5, Chimera 0.4, proxy not on local machine

Comment 3

[Greg K.]

Dan, does it also happen using Mozilla?

Comment 4

[Dan Burgess]

It *does* happen using Mozilla (1.1b), unless I specify to bypass localhost in 'Preferences>
Advanced>Proxies>No Proxy For'.  I am unable to add localhost to the Mac OS X 'System 
Preferences>Network>Proxies>Bypass Proxy Settings for these Hosts & Domains' to enable a 
workaround for Chimera.

Comment 5

[Jörg Skottke]

Same thing here. I have Apache and Mozilla 1.1b or nightly running on localhost
and use SmartCache as proxy. Mozilla always tries to go via SmartCache.
Using proxy for localhost should at least be configurable (checkbox)

Fixing bug 31510 might make this work the way people want (realistically, what
sensible end-power user would WANT to proxy localhost|127.0.0.1 ?

Comment 7

[Dan Burgess]

This seems to be resolved by Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar which allows 127.0.0.1 and
localhost to be added to the 'Bypass Proxy Settings for these Hosts & Domains'
in System Preferences > Network > Proxies.  Still an issue with Mac OS X 10.1.x.
 (Chimera 0.5, Mac OS X 10.2.1)

Comment 8

[benc]

Was there a problem with how Mac OS 10.1.x allowed "no proxy?" (wondering what
the change is)

Comment 9

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

reopen if it happens with a trunk build.

V/wfm.

Camino 2005091409 (v1.0a1).

Safari seems to automatically allow connections to localhost (or perhaps 127.0.0.1).
