Details

When I use junkbusters for my proxy server (which works fine with Netscape 4.7x) Mozilla will get confused at certain points, especially when using back, causing the browser to send the wrong request to the wrong site. Example, using junk- busters, Make a search on google.com. Go to a page listed. Hit back button to go back, Go to a different page on listing. about 40% of the time I notice that it makes the correct HTTP request, but to the wrong server. So, if the first page was for http://www.xyz.com/foo.html, it would make that request to www.xyz.com. If the second request was to http://www.abc.com/bar.html, it would make that request to server www.xyz.com. Using RedHat 7.2, with Junkbusters 2.0.2-28, and Mozilla from mozilla.org
I forgot to mention that when this happens, the browser starts getting slowed up, and after about 15 mins of futzing around, it will be unable to load web-pages, giving errors that 'too many recursive links have been hit', even when one manually types in 'www.google.com'. Also, it happens about 10% of the time, not 40%... but easy to reproduce.
One more comment. (Really. Only one. :-) When it does this, it will try to bypass the proxy. (e.g., junkbusters doesn't log a request when this occurs, so it not hitting the proxy when it gets 'confused')
Please read the release notes, which talk about issues with junkbuster's broken handling of HTTP/1.1 (which leads to problems with caching, etc). Do you see these issues if you set Mozilla to use HTTP/1.0?
junkbuster is broken see bug 38488 for more informations. change Http/1.1 to Http/1.0 in Edit\preferenes\debug\networking AND clear the Browser Cache ! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 38488 ***
