User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

If I use "Automatic proxy configuration" it doesn't work, before this new
release I haven't get any kind of problems...
The error message is :

The operation timed out when attempting to cantact www.foo.com

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to Mozilla 1.4b from 1.3b
2. Test with reported bug
3. Recreate a new profile
4. Same problem
5. Test with manual proxy
6. OK ... Is good
7. Downgrade from previouse release (1.3b)
8. Test ... OK
9. Return to 1.4b for other testing




Automatic proxy configuration URL example :
http://foo.it/abc/foonet.pac

foonet.pac example (foonet.pac is more complex):

function FindProxyForURL(url, host){

if(isInNet(myIpAddress(),"10.2.12.0","255.255.252.0") ||
	  isInNet(myIpAddress(),"10.22.12.0","255.255.252.0") ||
	  isInNet(myIpAddress(),"10.22.80.0","255.255.240.0")){
    return "PROXY 10.22.81.4:8080;" +
	   "PROXY 10.22.24.187:8080;" +    
	   "PROXY 10.21.8.17:8080";
  }

Reporter:
Please do this :
open a commandline window and cd to your mozilla directory.

(cd \programms\mozilla.org\mozilla )

after that do this:
"dir /s >c:\dir.txt" 

Please attach (via the "create new attachment link") the text-file c:\dir.txt
(with the directory listing) to this bug.

Thanks !

Thanks for the listing !

Can you now please do this : 

Delete this 2 files while Mozilla isn't running :
C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla
12/03/2003  13.57               12.464 ISimpleDOMDocumentMarshal.dll
12/03/2003  13.57               20.384 ISimpleDOMNodeMarshal.dll

If PAC still doesn't work try this :
uninstall Mozilla, delete the whole Mozilla directory (except the Plugins
subdirectory) and reinstall Mozilla

First of all I've tried to delete the files...

Then the second choice, remove Mozilla and reinstall it, now it work properly.

I think that there is a problem on the new installer, is it possible?

Thanks a lot !!!

yes, it's a installer bug.
this would be "worksforme" for a single report of this and it it's an installer
bug if we get frequent bug reports of this.

But it's never fixed without an attached patch (changed source-code)

I asked you for the file listing because we need more informations about this
but they found already the reason for this in bug 205514.
