61894 - Proxy autoconfiguration will not load pages

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 53080

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect, P3)

Description

[David Alger]

Selecting Proxy Auto Configuration will not allow web pages to load when typing
in URL or selecting bookmark.  A simple PAC file such as this one still causes
the problem:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
    {
       return "DIRECT";
    }
To Duplicate:
Edit -> Preferences
Advanced -> Proxy
   Select Auto Proxy Configuration
   type in a proxy.pac file location
Click Reload
Click OK
Type in URL - Nothing Happens.  Select Bookmarks, still nothing.
Return to Proxy Config and Select Direct Connection everything works
fine.

Proxy autoconfig isn't hooked up yet, because of security issues. You can
manually do it - see bug 53080 for details. Some autoconfig functions aren't
written yet though.
