Couldn't access the apache web server over port 1080

the patch maybe not be goot at this bug,but it is can fix this bug,i hope somebody can add this function in preference,can make somebody can open some port

You can't access port 1080 because we block this port for security reasons. This will not changed but you can disable this blocking with a hidden pref. (see bug 92769) I don't think that your patch will accepted. Without patch i would mark this as dupe or wontfix.... CC dougt@netscape.com since i can't/want dupe this bug with a attached patch

not a snowball's chance in anything. use the preference to override it if you need to . *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 92769 ***

Hi Matthias: Would you mind giving me some details on the reasoning of blocking the port? I would like to know more. If you think that it should not be discussed because of security reasons, I would appreciate that if you could drop me a line giving me some detail info or pointer. Thanks much, Margaret (margaret.chan@sun.com)

Hello Margaret ! We block many known ports : http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/netwerk/base/src/nsIOService.cpp#85 We block this ports because an attacker can redirect from a page to this ports and can manipulate something. If you want to know the exact reasons you should you should read bug 83401 (this bug added the blocking) and if you have more qeuestion, send a mail to dougt@netscape.com

Thanks for the pointer, Matthias. Margaret
