I modified the bug report. The issue is really straightforward to hit, I
cannot see how to explain it better.
** Description changed:
+ Environment :
+
+ An internal network (say 192.168.0.*) with a proxy. (say 192.168.0.1).
+ An internal web server that you can't access through the proxy, only
+ with a direct connection (say 192.168.0.2).
+
+ 1. In the Gnome panel, open System > Preferences > Proxy settings.
+ 2. Configure the HTTP proxy as 192.168.0.1 (on my config, it's the same
proxy for all protocols). In the "advanced configuration" tab, set 192.168.0.2
as an ignored host.
+ 3. Open Epiphany browser : You can access the web through the proxy. You can
also access 192.168.0.2 without problem.
+ 4. Open Firefox and be sure that it's configured to use the system wide
proxy. It can access the web (so proxy settings are working) but it cannot
access 192.168.0.2. It tries to access it through the proxy.
+ 5. Change Firefox settings to configure the proxy manually in Firefox. Add
the proxy and add 192.168.0.2 as an exception. Check that now Firefox can
access the web through the proxy and 192.168.0.2 without problem.
+
+ Obvious conclusion : When set to use System wide proxy, Firefox doesn't
+ use the ignore list.
+
+ Excpected behaviour : When set to use System wide proxy, Firefox should
+ behave like Epiphany and use the ignore list.
+
+
+ *** Original bug report ***
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.
** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
