Package: iceweasel
Version: 24.8.1esr-1~deb7u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

We serve proxy information to clients on our network using a wpad.dat
file.  No problems through many versions of Firefox.  Testing
Iceweasel on Debian, I find that this is not working.  Investigation
show that Iceweasel only accepts proxyservers as an IP anddress not a
URL.  This is not the case in Firefox.

eg for my wpad.dat to work, the configuration server needs to be
specified as an IP, not a URL and in my wpad.dat, the server also
needs to be specified as a URL.

This wpad.dat snipit works:
if (shExpMatch(url, "http:*"))  return "PROXY 192.168.x.xxx:xxx";

This does not:
if (shExpMatch(url, "http:*"))  return "PROXY proxy.ourdomain.local:xxx";

DNS is set up and working properly for the client on the local network.
dig proxy.ourdomain.local and dig proxy both return the correct IP on
the client.

thanks,

Bob
