Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1612111

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, task, P1)

Description

[Andrew Creskey [:acreskey]]

As discussed, please provide a method or a pref that can be used to bypass the proxy code.
(As a performance experiment)

OK, there is a preference network.proxy.type that can be turned to 0. But that WILL NOT save a main thread loop, we will always hit this code

Hence, I will write a trivial patch to bypass the proxy resolution altogether, hard coded, pref-value independent.

We can also have a fully working patch that won't break anything, but according the default proxy settings we ship on all products, it wouldn't have any major effect.

I think this can be covered as part of the work on bug 1612111.
