From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (Win98; U) BuildID: 2000121804 When trying to use the Automatic proxy configuration feature, I end up with a browser which cannot reach any site. This includes the site which is supposed to send me the proxy configuration. When using the direct Internet access configuration, I can reach the site which is supposed to provides me with the proxy config. However, I cannot go out of my private network since the proxy is not configured properly. I must mention this is working with Netscape 4.76. So, it is not related to a bad proxy configuration or wrong URL for the proxy configuration file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select the automatic proxy configuration from the Preferences->Advanced menu 2.Enter a valid URL 3.Try to access a site. Actual Results: Nothing. The browser stay blank. Expected Results: Get the page referenced by the URL. It is working fine with Netscape 4.76 (this is the browser and same URL for proxy config I am using right now to enter this bug report).
This is a dup of bug 53080, but waiting for the answer from the reporter. Please also read http://www.mozilla.org/docs/netlib/pac.html Thanks for confirming! Fabian.
