We use a firewall/proxy system, which requires me to login before first use. The proxy server is put in as manual proxy configuration, via DNS name and port number 8080 for http, https and ftp services. As soon as I hit a page the first time, it is redirecting me to an URL like this: https://proxy/login.html?nexturl="http://www.mozilla.org" I guess you get the idea. Now, the mozilla browser is unable to follow that link, it will just sit there without continuing. I always need to open good ole' netscape 4.75 and do it, then I can use Mozilla to browse. Is there anyway I can help you in tracking it down? Thank guys, Ronny
Ronny, do you have a build that includes PSM? What does "Tasks -> Privacy and Security -> Personal Security Manager" show?
Boris, yes I do have a build with PSM. Ronny
actually, I did some more testing, when I access SSL-enabled sites thru the proxy server it is very slow, it takes like 5 minutes to get the redhat network page displayed, the CPU goers up to 100% during that time and all mozilla sessions are stuck until the page is fully displayed. Maybe that helps. Ronny
Ronny, the bug you describe with SSL through a proxy being very slow has been fixed recently (on Feb 21). Please update to a recent Mozilla build and give it a try... That may or may not be related to the original problem you describe
Boris, I tried the nightly build from 3/6, indeed, it is much faster with https thru a proxy. Thanks for the info :) Unfortunately, the redirection still doesn't work. Ronny
