75949 - Authenticating proxy username and password not remembered

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Steve Chapel]

Reproducable: sometimes
Steps to reproduce:
1. Set up Mozilla to talk through an authenticating proxy.
2. Set Mozilla to remember the username and password for the proxy.
3. Set the disk cache to a medium size, say 1024 KB.
4. Quit Mozilla and restart.
5. After Mozilla reads the home page from the cache, go to a page that is not in
the Mozilla cache.
Expected results: The authenticating proxy dialog box appears with the saved
username and password.
Actual results: The authenticating proxy dialog box appears, but it asks for the
username for the web server the page is located on, not the username for the
proxy server. The username and password fields are blank.

I'm using a Netscape-Proxy/3.53 proxy server running on a SunOS 5.7 machine.
I've seen this problem with the nightly builds from at least the past week, up
to and including 2001041304.

I asked for this separately. I'm joining in the network qa officially, next 
week, so please entertain me on this one.

Actually I've noticed that this seems only to occur when I do 'new window' on a
link rather than clicking directly on it. Although how you can effectively
browse the web without clicking 'new window' escapes me.

Just another (random) data point in the mix. I'm speaking specifically about
0.8.1 (2001032614) on both Windows Win32 and Linux.

I can't reproduce this problem in the latest nightly builds -- I always get the
expected result that the proxy dialog box appears with my username and password.
