Hello, I am using wwwoffle (a web-proxy) http://www.gedanken.demon.co.uk/wwwoffle/ to make my surfing more comfortable. This works very well with navigator, konqueror and IE from a mac. But with Beonex nothing happens after clicking on any link. So I searched through bugzilla and found the following: 1. mozilla and thus beonex isn't able to get the proxy configuration with a remote file "*.pac". So you have to make a manual proxy configuration. 2. per default, mozilla cannot talk to a proxy that only understands http-1.0 (this are for example wwwoffle and junkbuster) to make mozilla talk to a http-1.0 proxy you have to add the following line to the prefs.js (somewhere under ~/.beonex on Linux) user_pref("network.proxy.http.keep-alive", false); this bug can be found on bugzilla under: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38488 A third problem occured, but I have no clue for solving it: If I try to access some local webspace with "http://localhost/", connection is refused. A workaround is to resolve the name localhost manually to 127.0.0.1 and type: http://127.0.0.1 The same goes wrong in the proxy configuration. So if you have a local proxy, you must use the numerical address 127.0.0.1 instead of the symbolic name "localhost". (Or you can use the network name of your computer, so if you have a local network and your computer has ip 192.168.0.1 and the name "kermit" you can use both the name _and_ the number for accessing it or setting it as proxy. The fault occurs only with "localhost"!) Hope this helps!
