(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Gael Le Mignot]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.1 i686; en-US; 0.8) Gecko/20010215
BuildID:    2001021503

Proxy authentification give the name of the target (ie www.slashodot.org) and
not of the proxy (proxy) to the password manager: the message is "enter username
and password for Squid-proxycachind at www.slashdot.org". So, if I change my
homepage to, say, www.mozilla.org, it'll ask again, because heùs now looking for
a password at www.mozilla.org

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a proxy that requires authentifcation
2. Go to one web site, fille suername & password, and ask the password manager
to remember it
3. Restart Mozilla
4. Go to another site

Actual Results:  Password manager ask for a new username/password

Expected Results:  It should know that the login was for the proxy, not the
site, and so prefill the form
