Title:
glib-pacrunner does not support file:// pac files
Status in GLib Networking:
Fix Released
Status in “glib-networking” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in “glib-networking” source package in Precise:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
When using a local pac file via file:///path/to/pac-file.pac, glib-
pacrunner falls back upon wpad://, thus using either a wrongly-
obtained pac file via wpad, or not being able to find a pac file to
run in the first place.
This causes issues with Liferea's Webkit-based HTML-view, and probably
a couple of other applications I haven't noticed as well.
TEST CASE:
1. Open Liferea
2. Subscribe to the xkcd.com feed
3. Click on one of the feed items
4. Notice that an image is displayed.
5. Save the following as a .pac file, e.g. in /tmp/bug-981856.pac
---->8----
function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
return 'DIRECT';
}
----8<-----
6. Quit Liferea
7. Set proxy in GNOME to file:///tmp/bug-981856.pac
9. Open Liferea
10. Click on a previously unopened feed item (the image may be cached)
11. Observe if the image loads
- With the bugfix in place, it should, but without, it doesn't.
