1873756 - HTTPS Manual Proxy Settings Ignored for imap

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[d.barrett]

Steps to reproduce:

In Thunderbird: Settings: Search: "proxy" [Settings]
(o) Manual proxy configuration
HTTP Proxy: {valid-http-proxy-hosthame} Port: {valid proxy port}
[v] Also use this proxy for HTTPS
[OK]

Attached client computer to network that prevents direct connection to
internet (e.g. firewalled by router)

Read from working imap server or send to smtp server should work using proxy.

Actual results:

Tools> Activity Manager> shows
"Authentication failure while connecting to imap.gmail.com"

Using the exact same proxy settings in firefox worked fine, but thunderbird tries
to connect directly to internet rather than through the proxy.

Also, thunderbird using the same imap and mail settings works fine when connected directly to the internet rather than a proxy.

Expected results:

Connection succeeded, and log messages appear in proxy server logs.

It should be working for SMTP. The old imap cpp code can't handle. imap-js works though.
