From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; m18) Gecko/20000801 BuildID: 2000080108 when trying to use the webwasher personal proxy (www.webwasher.com) using automatic proxy config mozilla does not try to connect to the internet direct connection works fine per request of the bug 20145 making a new bugreport Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install webwasher personal proxy 2. fill in automatic proxy config following url http://127.0.0.1:8080/proxyconf (or other whatever you specified in the setup) 3. try to connect to the net Actual Results: blank page Expected Results: display a page i'm not able to get the contents of the automatic proxy file if anyone knows a way to get the content of the file i'll add it to the bug report

whoa... didn't expect people to start using it right away! :) Anyhow... Pls. check http://www.mozilla.org/docs/netlib/pac.html#steps for a list of steps needed to get PAC running for you. I will be updating the doc and time permitting simplifying the steps more to make this easiar. But for now read that and let me know if that solves your problem. PS- Since I just checked in these steps you may have to wait till the content actually appears on mozilla.org (I belive it happens every 6 hours or so)

ok so i downloaded a new nightly id : 2000080204 did a checkout of nsProxyAutoConfig.js started mozilla with -console option but i did not get the line telling me it loaded the automatic proxy config and the proxy also was not contacted so questions is this a build wich has the support in it?

<ahem> Gagan? :-) xtra@ping.be - have you had better luck recently? Gerv

nope still no luck now using build 2000081804 i get the message that proxy autoconfig is registered at startup but when activating proxy nothing hapens no url's get loaded at all i realy would like to see this working

so would I. But sadly this works fine for me. :( All I can say is add some dump (equivalents of printfs) in your proxyautoconfig file and see what it says.

i'm not that good with javascript so i just attached the js file i used as you will see it's verry basic just redirect to the proxy server

Confirming so gagan doesn't lose track of this one :-) Gerv

Will this be fixed by the patches on bug 53080?

QA to me. This feature was not working in the time frame of this discussion. If I verify 58030, then we'll see if the file's .pac file still doesn't work. I looked an the enclosure, and it seems to be full of extra stuff. Is this what the webwasher really gives you?

can be marked as fixed with bug 58030 done this works for me tested on win98 & nt4 & nt2000

I'm working on geting 53080 marked FIXED, so this is a dupe. targeted for m0.9 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 53080 ***

VERIFYING: Need to clear this for the mozilla .9 verification train...
