284268 - bypass proxy for code doesn't resolve hostnames to match against IP addresses rules.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 284270

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[James Nord]

For a large site you want to bypass the proxy for all local addresses which can
be enabled with the following pref
network.proxy.no_proxies_on = localhost, 127.0.0.1, 172.20.0.0/16, 172.20.200.151

if you surf to a web page like http://172.20.12.122/foo.html then the proxy is
bypassed, but if testname resolves to the same address and you go to
http://testname/foo.html then the request goes via the server.

the name as well as the resolved IP address should be checked against the rules.
