From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98) BuildID: 2000033112 In the old Netscapes, there are many options in the "manual proxy configuration" menu (http, security, ftp, socks, gopher, WAIS). However, there are only http and ftp options in Netscape 6. I sometimes use a socks proxy in order to surf the web, but I am unable to do that because there is no socks field to fill. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A... just add it! Actual Results: N/A Expected Results: Please have all the necessary options in the "manual proxy configuration" menu!
This bug depends on SOCKS support actually being implemented in Mozilla (bug #16103), gopher and wais are also not supported in Mozilla (any volunteers?). Now the PSM security code is in place expect to see an entry for a security proxy to be appearing soon.

I've searched the database for bugs on WAIS. If this is not implemented, then we need to delete the dialog
Blocks: 61691

I'm in space. I looked at Windows RTM again today, and WAIS and Gopher are not visible in manual config. No need to delete something that isn't there. I'm sure I saw it somewhere, but I can't find it now.

qa to me. The correct list of fields for mozilla should be: http ftp ssl socks gopher No WAIS, b/c bug 61540 is unimplemented. This dialog might continue to change over time, so I'll probably target for the next milestone and verify then.

VERIFIED: I'm looking at mozilla 0.8.1, and it has the correct list of manual config preferences. Gopher proxy may not work in 0.8.1, implementation of this is covered in Bug 72312 .
Target Milestone: Future → mozilla0.8.1
I mean RESOLVED/WORKSFORME (my previous QA stint used only "verified"...) I don't think anyone cares exactly which patch fixed this dialog...
