983601 - The proxy server is refusing connections when specifying port in URL

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Jan Melcher]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131212154635

Steps to reproduce:

Set $http_proxy to http://proxy-host:3128
Configure firefox to use system proxy configuration
Open http://some-domain:1234 (or any other port)


Actual results:

Error message "The proxy server is refusing connections"

so Firefox uses the port specified in the URL for the proxy, instead of the one it is configured to use


Expected results:

Firefox connects to the proxy on port 3128, and requests the page at http://some-domain:1234 from that proxy

I think this is INVALID.  An HTTP proxy has a full right to accept proxying only to certain ports.

Check the setting of the proxy.  I don't think this is a Firefox/Necko bug.
