59512 - Java plugin uses proxy server when "direct connection to the internet" is selected

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 48336

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect, P3)

Description

[Dagfinn I. Mannsåker]

Note: i have symlinked the javaplugin.so that comes with blacdown's j2sdk1.3 to 
the mozilla plugins directory.

If I enter anything into the proxy settings in mozilla, the java plugin will 
attempt to use this proxy for downloading applets even if I have 
selected "Direct connection to the internet" in the proxy settings. (It 
says "downloading http://whatever/WhatEver.class using proxy.server:5555" in 
the applet space, and I get a ConnectionRefused exception in the Java console. 
This is because I had the wrong port specified in the proxy settings.)

For it to work, I had to enable proxies, remove everything from the textfields, 
disable proxies and restart mozilla.
