317534 - Cannot connect through proxy requiring smartcard authentication

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Networking, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7 (W-XP)
Build Identifier: Firefox 1.5 RC 3

I am behind a proxy which requires smartcard authentication. In Firefox 1.5rc3, I have set up the smart card and proxy exactly as in Firefox 1.0.7. In Firefox 1.5rc3, I am not prompted for the smart card password when trying to access the internet, and the proxy blocks me. If I go to the 'Security devices' options page (or whatever it is called) and click 'Log in', the password dialog shows and appears to work OK. The proxy still blocks me, though.

In Firefox 1.0.7, the first attempt to access the internet pops up the smart card password dialog box, and the proxy accepts the authentication.

Reproducible: Always




This bug (obviously) prevents the use of Firefox 1.5 in my environment.

Perhaps relevant: the proxy is configured via automatic proxy configuration URL

HTTP logging might be the best form of analysis. Darin should decide.

¡Hola!

Is this still a problem when using Nightly from https://nightly.mozilla.org/ ?

¡Gracias!

Sorry, I am no longer in the environment in which the bug occurred, so can no longer verify it.
