266619 - Frames do not report HTTPS proxy connection failed if in frames

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Nicola]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041007 Debian/1.7.3-5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041007 Debian/1.7.3-5

I use a proxy for connecting to internet (on localhost).
I shut down my local squid, and when I selected a link inside a frame in
Mozilla, nothing happened.
I then tried "open link in a new tab", and got "The connection was refused..."
(proxy error: correct)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an HTTPS page with frames (i.e.: Squirrel webmail)
2. Activate a non-existant proxy (i.e.: 127.0.0.1:65000
3. Select a link inside a frame

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Error notifying proxy unreachability

More EndPageLoad() fun.  I suspect the only reasonable answer here is to
implement error pages.

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

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.
