335042 - Camino is not using my system proxy settings at all

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Camino Graveyard :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060214 Camino/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060214 Camino/1.0

A fresh install of Camino on 10.4.6 (PPC).  I have never run Camino on this machine before this.  Imported bookmarks from Safari.  Camino is not respecting my system proxy settings, which point at a Privoxy instance on another machine.  Firefox and Safari work fine with this proxy.

I know for certain that the proxy is being bypassed because pointing Camino at "p.p", which normally takes me to Privoxy's web-based configuration tool, gets me a page error: "www.p.p could not be found".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Camino
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
Proxy settings not used.

Expected Results:  
Use proxy settings from System Preferences.

Just to be clear, does this happen when you point your browser to "http://p.p", or just "p.p"?  I'm wondering if this is part of Camino's URL completion.

Both produce the same error page.

I also tried going to the same URLs in Camino 1.0 and could reach both of them.  A month ago I did a clean install of OS X, Privoxy, and Camino and haven't had any problems reaching Privoxy's config page since then.

However, my installation of Privoxy is on the same machine, so I have 127.0.0.1:8118 set as my Web Proxy Server under both "Web Proxy (HTTP)" and "Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS)" in System Preferences.

I am also running OS 10.4.6 on a PPC Mac, in this case a G4.  My user agent is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

Do you have a port set in your proxy config?  If not, this would be bug 197122.

I do.  Both HTTP and HTTPS are set to port 8118 on my gateway machine.

I don't know if this is the same issue or not but I upgraded Camino from 1.0 to 1.0.1 and it will no longer connect to any web site outside of the corporate intranet.  The proxy server used to access external web sites is configured in my System Preferences for the Ethernet adaptor.  This server was used correctly by Camino in v1.0 and is being used today correctly by other browsers installed on my PowerBook (10.4.6), such as Safari (2.0.3) and Firefox (1.5.0.3).

Sorry, it looks like v1.0.1 broke something for me.

Marcus, that's bug 336447, not this one.

For what it's worth, I ended up starting with a fresh install of OS X and this problem has gone away for me.

The fresh install was due to Safari and almost any Web Kit application I could find being unable to access the network.  Perhaps Camino was unable to query the proxy settings due to the same issue, and that failure resulted in assuming no settings were in use at all.

Thanks for the update; closing INVALID since it seems that the OS was at fault.
