Proxy not working when switched on via quick prefs
Hi,Experiencing this since about 1-2 months with the latest snapshots. Newest one tested is build 1085.
- Create a proxy configuration, select "Use the same proxy for all protocols".
- Switch proxy usage off using F12 and back on using F12 -> Proxy now is not working anymore if you do not have also a SOCKS proxy.
Workaround: Go again into settings -> network -> proxy, open proxy settings, close without any changes (so it gets saved again). Then it works again.
Problem seems to be that "Use SOCKS" in settings below is set to 1 when switched on using F12, but is off when saving preferences via dialog:
[Proxy] Use WAIS=0 Use Automatic Proxy Configuration=0 WAIS server Automatic Proxy Configuration URL= Enable HTTP 1.1 for proxy=1 HTTP server=localhost:8888 HTTPS server=localhost:8888 FTP server=localhost:8888 Gopher server=localhost:8888 Use GOPHER=1 Convert No Proxy Servers=0 Enable Proxy=1 SOCKS server=localhost:8888 Use HTTP=1 Use HTTPS=1 Use FTP=1 Use SOCKS=0 <<--- or 1 depending upon how proxy is activated

Not related to the newest snapshots. If I recall correct the bug was introduced with the addition of the SOCKS protocol. No big deal since manual configuration still works as it should.

It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle: when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

I don't know if the bug is known. All I can tell you is that I took notice of it some time ago when I was testing Opera's SOCKS implementation.
