890866 - On Windows 7 - Firefox 22 the "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" system setting ignored

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 573956

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130618035212

Steps to reproduce:

On Windows 7 Firefox 22 I selected "Use system proxy settings". In the settings "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" is checked.


Actual results:

When entering some local sites in the browser ( http://local_name/... ) the next message is displayed:
----------------------------------------------------------------
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The following error was encountered:

    Unable to determine IP address from host name for xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The dnsserver returned:

    Name Error: The domain name does not exist. 

This means that:

 The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL. 
 Check if the address is correct. 

Your cache administrator is webmaster. 
----------------------------------------------------------------


Expected results:

I expect to see the local web site. For this to happen I need to manually copy the proxy settings and add <local> to the "No proxy required for" list.
