Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xulrunner-1.9
The reload button in the network panel of Firefox 3 beta 5 has no effect. This can be checked either by tcpdumping the request of Firefox, when clicking on the button, or by hosting locally a PAC file and watching the logs. I have tracked it down this regression to the checkin upstream that introduced the influence of http_proxy environment variable on our systems on the proxy configuration of Firefox / XULrunner. A new (intended) behaviour of nsProtocolProxyService::ConfigureFromPAC was introduced in this checkin : ConfigureFromPAC exits early if the uri is already known (this check was previously in other methods). However nsProtocolProxyService::ReloadPAC (that is called by the reload button) calls ConfigureFromPAC with obviously the same uri than the one already known (otherwise this would not be a reload ;) ) Here is the patch I have submitted upstream : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=318657 The corresponding upstream bug is bugzilla 422172. ** Affects: xulrunner Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: xulrunner-1.9 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Firefox 3 proxy auto config (PAC) reload button do not work + Firefox 3 proxy auto config (PAC) reload button does not work ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #422172 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422172 ** Also affects: xulrunner via https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422172 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Firefox 3 proxy auto config (PAC) reload button does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
