192337 - URL is correct, but sometimes resolves to wrong IP when using proxying

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 38488

(Core :: Preferences: Backend, defect)

Description

[Dave Oksner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.75 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When I turned http and https proxying on, and used Internet Junkbuster, I would 
jump around between pages and sometimes they would attempt to load the URI from 
the previous host's IP address.  The two I used for testing was 
http://www.wunderground.com/ and http://www.cnn.com/.  But I also had a problem 
with http://www.google.com/ in the past.  When I would go between http and 
https, the problem would not span the switch between the two protocols.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set "manual proxy configuration" and point http and https to proxy software; 
in my case, I used internet junkbuster
2. Go to several different locations in different domains, switching back and 
forth

Actual Results:  
I would get things like the URL would indicate that I was at 
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=arroyo+grande%
2C+ca but the screen would have rendered in it "Not found
Sat, 08 Feb 2003 00:20:11 GMT from server 64.12.174.139,80
The requested URL was not found."  That IP is an AOL machine--I had just come 
from cnn.com.

Expected Results:  
Used the proper IP address for the host in the URL.

I did this in a fresh profile.  The only things I changed were the bookmarks (I 
deleted all the original ones and added three that I was using for testing) and 
the proxy settings.  Nothing else.

I did have a few other profiles.  One of which seems to work fine, but I've 
never needed to enable proxying on it because I only access things that are one 
the local network.  I've also created and deleted a few profiles, sometimes 
pulling in netscape profile information.

Yes.. another dup. This has been in the release notes for years now.
