59113 - chrome://foo.js requests send to auto-loaded proxy

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Stanislav Brabec]

If proxy auto-load is on, mozilla asks proxy for internal chrome://foo.js
requests - these requests fail, because most proxies (at least with my
wwwoffled) doesn't know how to serve these requests, and mozilla stops work
complaining about error while loading chrome://foo. Note that manual proxy
configuration doesn't have this bug.

Choose a working proxy with proxy auto-load page (if you don't have, you can try
wwwoffle ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/unix/httpd).
Choose proxy auto-load in proxy setup.
Try any www page.

Mozilla writes error messages and does nothing:
got a request
JavaScript error:
line 0: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIBrowserInstance.loadUrl]"  nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://navigator/content/navigator.js :: OpenBookmarkURL :: line 693"  data: no]

Browser, not engine. Reassigning to Networking for further triage -

Reporter is this still a problem in the latest nightlies?

Comment 3

[Fabian Guisset]

I am marking this WORKSFORME because of the lack of response to this bug, both 
from the reporter, and from the component this was assigned too.
Reporter, please feel free to reopen anytime if you are still seeing this in a 
nightly build (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly), or wait a few days 
for Mozilla 0.7.
Thank you!
Fabian.

reporter:

This bug is a "futured" or "untargeted" bug which has been "resolved/works for
me". Most bugs meeting this criteria are usually somewhat out of date or working
in the current builds.

If this bug is not happening for you in a recent build (such as the Mozilla
daily build, Mozilla 0.9.3, or Netscape 6.1), please use the friendly "Mark bugs
as VERIFIED" radio button to set this bug to "VERIFIED/WORKS FOR ME"
If you reported the bug on a platform (e.g. Linux) and other contributors
reported on another platform (e.g. Mac OS), please comment that it works for you
 but do not verify it yet.

For these multi-platform bug reports, we need to verify all reported platforms
-OR- create new "still broken on platform X" bugs when you verify.
