From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001014
BuildID:    0000000000 (CVS 10/31/2000)

When I set up Automatic Proxy Configuration, pages will not display at all.
I've tried both a HTTP URL and a FILE URL.  The HTTP URL is tested in Netscape
4.x and IE; the FILE URL is tested in Netscape 4.x.

I have never seen Automatic Proxy Configuration work properly in any Mozilla
build I've used.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a small javascript function for Automatic Proxy Configuration

2. Configure Mozilla to use this javascript function via the Preferences
(Advanced/Proxies/Automatic Proxy Configuration URL)

Actual Results:  No pages will load.

Expected Results:  Proper operation.  :)

Here is a sample of the javascript I use for the file: URL.  I store it in

	/usr/local/etc/proxyconf.proxyconf

, and set my Automatic Proxy Configuration URL to

	file:/usr/local/etc/proxyconf.proxyconf
