340258 - proxy server not recognized in any way

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 336447

(Camino Graveyard :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Alexander V Ljubimov]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060427 Camino/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060427 Camino/1.0.1

Camino does not see the proxy server set in System Preferences/Internet. Moreover, on 2 computers out of three (both running OS 10.4.6), one PowerBook G4, 1.25 GHz, one MacBook Pro, 2 GHz, creating the user.js file does not help. The proxy server is not recognized eben then. The filename appears to be right but the site does not recognize Camino even after CamiTools have been updated to show the working client (Firefox). Firefox is hands down better in this respect than Camino. Why bother creating a poorboy version of a great browser???

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to https://proxy.ucla.edu/auth?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Fentrez%2Fquery.fcgi%3Fdb%3DPubMed
2. input username and password (user.js file created and put to the right place in user/library). The browser shows "authentication successful" and directs to the right url (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed).
3. Clicking on a link after a search for an article should result in "UCLA" caption and display of the full text. It does not happen and the site is asking for password to log in. This is abnormal and never happens in Firefox or Netscape where proxy server is configured inside the browser.

Actual Results:  
Not able to retrieve full text from the database because the proxy server does not recognize Camino.

Expected Results:  
full text of an article should be displayed with "UCLA" caption on top below the Journal title.

Proxy server setting must be put where they belong: in the browser preferences. You have done it with Firefox. Why not in Camino???

Was this a problem in 1.0?

Is it still a problem in the 1.0.2rc (download from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/camino/nightly/2006-06-02-13-1.0.2/Camino.dmg )?

If the answer to those questions is "no", this is a dupe of bug 336447
