265337 - proxy authentication dialog needs to be cancelled 2x

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[A. Sapuntzakis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 0.8 (20040913)

Cancelling an unpopulated file download (or RSS) proxy authentication dialog
produces a second (unpopulated) proxy authentication dialog.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start behind a proxy server with proxy configured but no authentication info
2. Save Links As ... on an external link in a message - this creates an
authentication dialog
3. Cancel the dialog
Actual Results:  
another identical-looking dialog is presented. cancelling this one does NOT
yield a 3rd

note that this might not, in fact, be identical, but because of 265292, the user
can't tell the difference

Expected Results:  
aborted the download

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

In Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 I get the proxy window when a user clicks on Show Images. As not all users have proxy accounts they just click cancel. This just brings up a new proxy logon box this is a never ending process. The problem is 100% reproducible.

Glyn, do you still see a problem if using version 3?
