Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 280742

(Core :: Preferences: Backend, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050106 Galeon/1.3.19 (Debian package 1.3.19-1ubuntu1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050202

(I picked the component that bug 259076 was in, hope that's correct).

Bug 259076 added
+    {"network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "/system/proxy/ignore_hosts"},
to extensions/pref/system-pref/src/gconf/gconf_pref_list.inc.

This is wrong on two accounts:
1) /system/proxy/ignore_hosts doesn't exist. The correct pref is
/system/http_proxy/ignore_hosts
2) /system/http_proxy/ignore_hosts isn't a string pref; it's a list of string
which would have to be joined with ',' into a string. But
extensions/pref/system-pref/src/gconf/nsSystemPrefService.cpp doesn't seem to
support list keys at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open gconf-editor
2. Open about:config, filter on network.proxy.
3. Change /system/http_proxy/ignore_hosts in gconf editor
Actual Results:  
network.proxy.no_proxies_on key didn't change.

Expected Results:  
network.proxy.no_proxies_on changed accordingly.

IMHO this is really a dupe of #280742, isn't it?
