58102 - MRJPlugin not using NS4.76 proxy info

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect, P3)

Description

[Chris Andrichak]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.7 sun4u)
BuildID:    1.0b1

MRJPlugin doesn't use HTTP proxy settings with Netscape 4.76

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. use MRJPlugin with Netscape 4.76
2. use an applet that uses URLConnections back to server
3. run snoop on a unix box - watch Netscape request HTML pages
through the webcache, and then watch the applet JAR file be
requested directly from the server, not through the proxy.

Actual Results:  The Applet does not load, the MRJPluginAppletOutput file shows
a class not found exception for the main class of the applet, as expected if the
JAR file can't be loaded.

Expected Results:  MRJPlugin/MRJ should have picked up the proxy settings from
the browser.

Yup, currently the networking stack used by MRJ and that used by the browser are 
independent. I am working on integrating them, but have no ETA.

Depends on 57941.

This may be fixed in v1.0b2. Please check if this is so.

Applets are getting loaded via the proxy now, so it is picking up the proxy
settings from the browser (as of v1.0b2).

Verified.
