297337 - Reloading after domain guessing reloads wrong URL when using proxy

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Timwi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

See STR.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn off all webservers running on your computer.
2. Set Firefox to use a proxy (I use Proxomitron, for example).
3. Type "localhost" in the location bar of Firefox and press Enter.
4. The proxy will respond that the connection failed.
5. Firefox guesses that the user may have meant www.localhost.com and tries that.
6. The proxy reports that this fails too.
7. Now you realise that you have your local webserver turned off, so you turn it
on and hit reload.
Actual Results:  
Firefox re-attempts to access www.localhost.com.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should re-attempt to access localhost.

Oh, sorry -- silly me. The STR are wrong in that I have set Firefox to not use
the proxy for localhost. So it will use the proxy only for the guessed domain
www.localhost.com.

Uuuhhmm.... I'm trying to hard to figure this one out. Why would it be invalid?
Maybe you just didn't understand the bugreport?

I have no idea, it was a question.
I assumed you fixed it

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.
