I can't access the manual config for proxies, and the autoconfig isn't working, Mozilla always tries to get the url directly without passing by the proxy. Given how my ISP works (proxy only) it makes it impossible to further test the browser with webpages...

Gagan, this appears to be some kind of netlib issue ...

They don't in Necko either. And we have to add that support. Deferring till Necko lands and we work out the preferences issues.

prelim sched say rpotts should get this. - work with proxies (rick, 1w) - autoconfig (rick, 1w)

bug 8559 has lots of the nitty gritty details about proxy bustage

The following bugs also address proxy issues: bug 6540 (prefs front end). bug 8559 (pref callback problem). bug 7398 (where to store the prefs).

Checked in. (no autoconfig as yet)

Could someone tell me how I can enable proxy support in the current build? Do I have to wait for autoconfig to support a --enable-proxy option, or is there another way? This is blocking me from testing some of my bugs. Thanks.

Adding info that Mark Lin found on his own, so that others who need the functionality from this bug can use it as well: to turn on proxy support, append the following two lines to your .netscape/mozProfile/prefs.js file: user_pref("network.proxy.http", "myProxyHost.myCompany.com"); user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 8080);

I verified this on Mac/Linux/Windows. This will make a lot of people happy. Eventually we will have to respect the http.proxy.type pref also.

Bulk move of all Necko (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking component.
