Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 19177

Description

[tomerde]

I'm running milestone 10. I can't connect to site outside our fire wall. Our
proxy is running on port 80.

Moving to Necko.  This is probably a DUP, and there's not much info here, but I
don't know the right bug#.

Probably unrelated to the M10 problem (was HTTP proxy support implemented in
M10), but relavent to this whole proxy issue:

I just talked to a friend of mine who was trying to use proxies in M11 and
having problems. She set up the proxy info in the M11 prefs dialog but kept
getting "can't load" messages when trying to connect through it. The problem
seemed to be that we were writing out bogus pref data to the prefs file:

user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1);
user_pref("string:network.proxy.ftp", "192.168.0.1");
user_pref("string:network.proxy.ftp_port", "80");
user_pref("string:network.proxy.http", "192.168.0.1");
user_pref("string:network.proxy.http_port", "80");
user_pref("string:network.proxy.none", "");

Both the string: before the pref name and the quotes around the port number are
bogus. Changing these manually fixed the problem.

[Sean Richardson]

Based on issues, this ia a DUP of bug 19177,
"user_pref("string:network.proxy.http", "proxyhost") fails", also ASSIGNED and
M13.

Is this a "libPref" problem or a "Networking" problem? Guessing "libPref",
so that would make this bug a DUPLICATE of bug 19177.

This was incorrectly marked. This is a dup of 19177 and not the other way around.
