Is it possible to set Mozilla's proxy through Java's System properties? I would have thought the only way to do this would be through calls to the embedding API's preferences interface or perhaps calls somewhere in Necko. What are the system properties Mozilla uses for its proxy settings? Let me also assist with the hunt for this bug. Unfortunately, I know little about C++ or even JNI, but the following code segment (located at http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/java/webclient/src_moz/PreferencesImpl .cpp#70) struck me as suspicious. These lines are called when the proxy name (network.proxy.http) preference is set fromWebclient): ::util_ReleaseStringUTFChars(env, prefName, prefNameChars); ::util_ReleaseStringChars(env, prefName, prefValueChars); Note that in the second line the second argument is prefName, when it should perhaps be prefValue. Webclient team: should I write this up as a bug? Does this stand a chance of being corrected and rolled into a (hopefully soon-to-be-released) next version of Webclient? -Michael Epstein
