[Bug 397824] [NEW] proxy port settings not working in fennec

[Markus Schulz]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: fennec

Firefox is working on the same computer with proxy 140.200.11.94 on port
800.

With fennec I tried:
1. add this to my prefs.js file:

 first I put this in)
  user_pref("network.proxy.http", "140.200.11.94");
  user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", "800");
  user_pref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", true);
  user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1); 
 
 than it reverted to this after running end exit) 
  user_pref("network.proxy.http", "140.200.11.94");
  user_pref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", true);
  user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1);
 
 as a test I tried this, but this didn't work)
  user_pref("network.proxy.http", "140.200.11.94:800");
  user_pref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", true);
  user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1);

2. put this on the end in my .bashrc file:
export http_proxy="140.200.11.94:800"
export https_proxy=$http_proxy


By doing some very fast double click I was able to use about:config to change the network.proxy.http_port... and the web is working now. Looks like the quotation marks around the port didn't work... sorry for the Bug report.
