User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 SOCKS proxy failover does not work as documented. If one specifies two SOCKS proxies in a PAC file in the same return statement, only the first one is attempted. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In a PAC file, specify two SOCKS proxies as such "return SOCKS socks1.blah.com; SOCKS socks2.blah.com". 2. If socks1.blah.com goes down, socks2.blah.com should handle the request, but it does not. Actual Results: Instead of socks2.blah.com handling the request, it just errors out, indicating that the proxy is not responding. Expected Results: Failover to socks2.blah.com this bug might be a dupe of bug 273258, but that one had been resolved as a dupe of another bug that was supposedly fixed.
