Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 67246

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Kristian Sorensen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19 i686; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010505
BuildID:    2001050521

This bug may be linked to bug #78090.

The Installer can't download the java plugin from
http://home.netscape.com/plugins/jvm.html in an environment, where the
HTTP/FTP-PROXY is the only connection from the workstation to the internet,
i.e., the exists no direct connection from the workstation to netscape.com, only
by PROXY.

This suggest that the installer does not use PROXY settings. It is possible to
download the java plugin manually from
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6/english/6.0/unix/linux22/xpi/jre.xpi


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place a workstation with mozilla 0.9 behind a firewall that only allows
connection through a HTTP/FTP-PROXY.
2. Go to http://home.netscape.com/plugins/jvm.html
3. Try to download the java plugin for GNU/Linux.
4. This doesn't work.
5. Download the file manually from
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6/english/6.0/unix/linux22/xpi/jre.xpi
6. Activate the installer by clicking on the local .xpi file.

Can you submit the log files from your proxy server for an installation session?

Bug 78090 suggests there is a more general problem, you would not receive this
file even if you had a direct connection.

This was the bug that fixed the problems with HTTP/FTP proxies in Mozilla installer.
