Status: VERIFIED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Mr Laurie Perrin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When submitting this uri through a proxy, the header I observe is:

http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N3474.PENNYWEB/B1520215.2;sz=120x600;ord=

Also, the proxy uses digest authentication. The uri field of the
"Proxy-Authorization" header is:

/adi/N3474.PENNYWEB/B1520215.2;sz=120x600;ord=##CACHE#

(literally, it reads 'uri="/adi/N3474.PENNYWEB/B1520215.2;sz=120x600;ord=##CACHE#"')

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure the browser to use a proxy with digest auth
2. Navigate to
"http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N3474.PENNYWEB/B1520215.2;sz=120x600;ord=##CACHE##?"

Actual Results:  
You will be challenged repeatedly, even with the correct credentials

Expected Results:  
The url passed should be
"http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N3474.PENNYWEB/B1520215.2;sz=120x600;ord=##CACHE##?"

The # is a reserved character, used for fragments. You need to escape it with %23.
