215502 - PAC: first proxy connection does not work

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 100022

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Florian Effenberger]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: 1.4 Final

I have set up a proxy script in Mozilla which is set to

http://myproxy/proxy.pac

This file contains:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
    if (isPlainHostName(host) ||
        dnsDomainIs(host, ".mydomain"))
        return "DIRECT";
    else
        return "PROXY myproxy:3128; DIRECT";
}

When I start up Mozilla normally, it works just fine. However, if I open it via
a link, e.g. a link in a message in Outlook Express (6.0 SP1), the first attempt
in Mozilla ALWAYS brings a "Could not connect" message. When I reload the page,
it works.

Seems to me, that there is some timeout that's wrong?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Outlook Express
2. Click on a link in a message
3. Watch the error message

Actual Results:  
an error message occurec, "Could not connect"

Expected Results:  
open the page
