Package: xulrunner-1.9.1 Version: 1.9.1.8-4 Hi,
Xulrunner-based browsers fail to connect through some proxies with very peculiar settings. This happens since the fix for the following bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2009-1836 As comment #75 of said bug explains, it breaks the behavior of some (arguably broken) proxies. When you issue a CONNECT command, they will reply with a REDIRECT to a page that does the authentication. The patch introduced at that moment breaks this kind of authentication. https://bug479880.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=373419 Currently, the only way to get this to work is to rebuild xulrunner with this patch reverted. Given the way the patch works, I wonder whether it would be possible instead to create a new configuration setting, that would disable this security fence. Do you think this would be a worthwhile addition? I haven’t found an upstream bug report about this issue, so I can forward the request up there directly if you need. Cheers, -- .''`.
