Public bug reported:
Firefox 3.0b4 has problem with system network proxy configuration - cannot
recognize addresses from "Ignore Host list" in "Network Proxy" configuration -
although I don't know if this is problem of Firefox or Ubutnu or both.
1. System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy -> Manual proxy configuration is set
and in "Advanced Configuration" - 192.168.70.128 is added to "Ignore Host list"
2. in Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Connection
Settings -> "Use system proxy settings" is selected
When I type 192.168.70.128 in Location/Address bar and I hit enter, Firefox ask
me about my proxy user and password. In my opinion it should take me to that
address (192.168.70.128) without asking for proxy user and password, because it
is in "Ignore Host list".
If I switch configuration in Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced ->
Network -> "Connection Settings" to "Manual proxy configuration" and add proxy
address to "HTTP Proxy" and add 192.168.70.128 to "No proxy for" list -
everithing is ok - Firefox does not ask for proxy user and password and load
the page from 192.168.70.128.
Version of Ubuntu is 8.04 - the Hardy Heron - released in April 2008
I have used ubuntu-8.04-beta-desktop-amd64.iso livecd without installing it to
hard disk.
