Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 84798

(Core :: Networking, defect)

I have already configured my browser for automatic proxy configuration URL:
file://c:\temp\proxy.pac

There is a good description available at
http://wp.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2.0/relnotes/demo/proxy-live.htmll
how to configure a proxy.pac file.

Example 4 of that document shows how to write a proxy.pac file with redundant
proxy servers. I have to adapd that on my network settings.

My proxy.pac file:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) 
{ 
if (isPlainHostName(host) ||
    dnsDomainIs(host, ".myintranet.com"))
    return "DIRECT";
else
    return "PROXY 10.1.1.150:8080; " +
           "PROXY 10.1.1.151:8080";
}

Where the primary proxy server is 10.1.1.150 and the secondary proxy server is
10.1.1.151.

The problem now is if the primary proxy server goes down, browser requests wan't
be forwarded to the secondary proxy. Exactly the same proxy.pac file is working
well within Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

This is no support database.
I duped this one to bug 190068 and bug 190068 itself is a dupe of bug 84798.
Bug 84798 is still open and that means that this is a known problem and you must
wait until that bug is fixed.

duping directly to bug 84798
