[Bug 243578] [NEW] Thunderbird address book won't use socks to access ldap server

[Chris]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

I have a number of Ubuntu systems on a private lan, behind a socks
firewall.

When I use thunderbird I set the network connections to use socks, and
give it the correct name and port number. Thunderbird itself works fine,
I can send and receive email without problems. However when I configure
the ldap server to use with thethunderbird address book, thunderbird
will not resolve any ldap names to email addresses. I have double
checked and I'm sure that the ldap settings are correct.

I sniffed the network during an exchange and I can see that normal
thunderbird traffic being sent via socks. However I can see that
thunderbird is trying to send the ldap traffic directly to the ldap
server, not via socks. I include a wireshark screenshot showing what is
happening.

This is Thunderbird 2.0.0.14, and Ubuntu 8.04
