309420 - Proxy exclusion by IP doesn't work for SSL unless hostname is fully qualified

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Matt Ryall]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

I have our internal network IP range 10.0.0.0/8 in my proxy exclusion list.

This exclusion only works for SSL traffic when using the fully qualified domain
name.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up proxy settings: manual config, same proxy for all, enter web proxy
hostname and port, add 10.0.0.0/8 to the "no proxy for" list.
2. Go to a HTTP site using just the hostname, no network DNS suffix -- works.
3. Go to a HTTPS site using the fully qualified hostname -- works.
4. Go to a HTTPS site using just the nostname, no network DNS suffix -- gateway
timeout from the web proxy server.

Actual Results:  
Works properly for steps 2 & 3 (HTTP and fully-qualified HTTPS), returns a
gateway timeout from the web proxy on step 4, because it doesn't match the proxy
exclusion list.

Expected Results:  
HTTPS sites using an unqualified hostname should do a DNS lookup, then apply the
proxy exclusion list.

Can't provide exact hostnames and IP addresses used due to corporate
confidentiality. Please request more information if required.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

I no longer have a proxy server I can test with, and given noone else seems to care about the bug, I'll resolve it as 'Incomplete', assumed fixed in Firefox 2.
