55933 - autoproxy does not work at all, but manual proxy does.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 53080

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

[haakon]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-15mdk i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001008
BuildID:    2000100821

We have an autoproxy.pac file on one of our machines. This works fine with
Internet Explorer and Netscape 4.x. No such luck ever with Mozilla. Otherwise -
your doing a fine job. Please look into the autoproxy-problem.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Edit, Preferences, Advanced, Proxy, Autoproxy
2.Set the URI to whereever your autoproxy.pac file resides.
3. Hit OK, and type in any web address you know.

Actual Results:  No new pages would appear. By using manual proxy I get onto the
Internet.

Expected Results:  It should be possible to view pages on the Internet.

as a contribution to the tests, please attach it to this bug (do NOT attach to
any of the currently open bugs).
