Reporter, please try this with a newer build.  There have been tons of fixes 
since May 5th, which is your build date.  Reporting bugs on builds this old is 
not very helpful.  If you find a bug and notice your build is old, re-test the 
behavior on a newer build before reporting the bug.

Please see bug 79893...

reporter, if you are still having problems with a newer build, please post your
proxy configuration script here.  Take a look at

if you are unsure how to do this.

thanks
From a later bug by the same reporter (bug 85898):

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607
BuildID:    2001060703

Mozilla has an option of specifying an automatic configuration script to set up
proxies for HTTP, FTP, Gopher, SOCKS, etc. Even after selecting the option and
indicating a file (that is located on a server on the Local LAN), Mozilla is
unable to retrieve the file and initialize the proxy settings. I shut down the
computer and retried but Mozilla did not respond. This works correctly in IE4.x
and 5.x. this is an important feature because most corporate intranets allow
connecting to the Internet through proxies which may change from time to time.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Proxies
2. Enter the name of a file that is an automatic configuration script
3.

Actual Results:  Mozilla did not download the file and tried to directly connect
to the Internet.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should download the local file and use the settings
in the file to connect to the Internet. This works with netscape 4.x

This has worked generally well, except for Mac.

The file should reload everytime you hit "okay" in prefs, so you can put a PAC
file on any webserver and check that it pulled.

There seems to be some cache interaction that I haven't studied, so a new
profile test/isolation would be useful.

What are you typing into the field?
bradley can you look at this?
Assignee: neeti → bbaetz
WFM. I'm going to need a copy of the pac file to look into this more. Is this on
an HTTP server?

manoj: please post the auto configuration script here. Thank you.
manoj: after looking at the proxy auto-configuration script (PAC) you sent me,
I've come to the conclusion that the script is actually downloaded but the
script is not working due to bug 79057. I'm going to mark this bug as a dup of
that bug. If you think this is a different bug, please reopen it. However before
you do, please check your javascript console to see if there is an error like:

Error: dnsResolve is not defined
Source File: pac url
Line: #
when trying to visit a page. If you do, it is definitely a duplicate of that bug.

Yes, this is a duplicate of 79057, this is the error message in the js console:

Error: dnsResolve is not defined
