49931 - Autoscript and manual Proxy Configuration failing

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 45747

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Steve Cox]

( M17 & nightly build 22 Aug 00)

When connected via MS Proxy Server, proxy configurations fail:

MSProxy Server 2.0 (NT 4.0)settings:
http via webproxy (not using winsock for http)
cleartext  & encryped user authentication (cleartext as per using netscape in 
MS Proxy envirnoment) which required entry of username and password for the NT 
domain of the proxy server

Using appropriate manual proxy config, accessing a URL outside of the local 
network generates a "www.mozilla.org could not be found. Please check the name 
and try again" after trying to resolve the name.

If the automatic proxy configuration script is used: "http://COMMS:80/array.dll?
Get.Routing.Script", then upon entering the URL, the browser immediately 
returns from trying to download the html without doing anything - the previous 
page remains.

Further testing: If the MS Proxy Server 2.0 is configured to use allow the http 
protocol via winsock proxy (and the winsock proxy client) is installed on the 
PC, then adjusting the proxy settings to use a direct connection works. 
However, resetting back to using webproxy fails again.

Adjusting Proxy Server 2.0 between using anonymous, cleartext passwords and MS 
encrypted passwords when Moz is configured back to using manual proxy settings 
has no effect - using cleartext doesn't even prompt for username/password entry 
when first attempted.

I have confirmed the proxy settings I am using work correctly with NS4 and IE4/5

[e-mail] - are you still seeing this problem in recent builds of Mozilla?

Attn Gerv: Still present in the latest Milestone, M18. Will not be able to
confirm with latest nightly myself until next week. However, this issue seems
well covered by bug #45747
