Description Michael Stather 2006-05-29 20:49:18 UTC

Version:           3.5 (using KDE 3.5.0 Level "a" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15.10-default

When I set the proxy in the KDE control center to a .pac url, when entering an URL in konqueror it just freezes.
When I enter the proxy settings manually or use the environment variables everything works fine.

Comment 1 Stefan Borggraefe 2006-07-03 10:13:32 UTC

Does a redirect happen when getting the pac-URL? Then this would be a duplicate of bug 123356.

Comment 2 Michael Stather 2006-07-03 10:42:41 UTC

How do I find this out?

Comment 3 Stefan Borggraefe 2006-07-03 11:15:17 UTC

You could use the HEAD command from package libwww-perl or wget:

HEAD <url of the pac file> or
wget -S <url of the pac file>

Please paste the output of this command here.

The content of the pac-file could also be useful.

AFAICS there´s a redirect.

Comment 5 Stefan Borggraefe 2006-07-11 10:55:22 UTC

Ok, then this is a dupe of bug 123356. Work-around for this bug: This should work when you use the endpoint of the redirect(s).

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 123356 ***

Comment 6 Ralf Hildebrandt 2006-07-11 11:02:07 UTC

So, please do vote for the initial bug. Right now, the bug is bneing ignored, and everybody here suffers!

Comment 7 Michael Stather 2006-07-11 11:45:48 UTC

It´s really sad that most bugs are ignored here on the KDE bugtracker. I think I´ll have to look for an alternative.
