177531 - PAC: file does not work.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 171441

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[davidb]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b)

I just upgraded from 1.2 alpha to 1.2 beta, and I can no longer do proxy 
configuration using a PAC file.  Manual configuration works, but if I use the 
PAC file the browser tries to go direct.  Here's the PAC file, just in case 
there's some odd problem with it that earlier versions were simply ignoring:

function FindProxyForURL(url,host) {
        if (isInNet( host, "152.160.178.0", "255.255.255.0"))
                return "DIRECT";
        return "PROXY gatekeeper.interclean.com:8080"
}

This is the same file I've been using successfully with Mozilla 1.0 through 1.2 
alpha, and with Internet Explorer 5.5SP2 and 6.0.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
On my LAN, I can reproduce the problem as follows:
1. Configure for automatic proxy configuration with the URL 
http://gatekeeper.interclean.com/proxy.pac.
2. Try to load an outside page.
Actual Results:  
The browser attempts to go direct and has its connection refused by the 
firewall.

Expected Results:  
Go through the proxy, unless the URL is on the 152.160.178.0/24 subnet, in 
which case it should go direct.
