26778 - "network.proxy.none" isn't working

Description

[Bradley Baetz]

Dialing in from uni, we have to use a rpxy for external address. However, some
internal sites won't allow access thorough the proxy. Since auto proxy isn't
working (bug #20145), I've set it up using the manual settings. Anything entered
into the prefs panel for the noproxy option isn't saved in my prefs.js (its just
the number 0). I've edited my prefs.js it to look like:

user_pref("network.proxy.ftp", "www-cache.usyd.edu.au");
user_pref("network.proxy.ftp_port", 8080);
user_pref("network.proxy.http", "www-cache.usyd.edu.au");
user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 8080);
user_pref("network.proxy.none", "usyd.edu.au");
user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1);

But sites within usyd.edu.au (eg http://www.cs.usyd.edu.au or
http://www.timetable.usyd.edu.au/~tim/timetable.cgi?L28 ) still go through the
proxy. I've confirmed this with netstat.

This is with M13.
