It should be the same in Firefox. Instead, users have to set it by themseves, which is against auto-detection magic. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: look into Options-General-Connection settings Actual Results: Direct connection to Internet is set. Expected Results: Should be Auto-detect proxy settings for this network. This is very easy task to resolve, so I expect it could be introduced even to Fx 1.5 which aims to be corporate-ready.

I believe this is how IE does it. Or perhaps try to auto-detect proxy settings if it can't load the home page.

That said, I don't know how this would affect others. CC'ing darin and setting to New as I cannot find a dupe. As to how IE does it, why not just go ahead and do the auto-detect and not run into the problem to begin with, if auto-detect doesn't break anything of course ;) Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/48445/comments/2 On 2005-09-28T17:50:03+00:00 Patryk-patryk wrote: MSIE's Server Not Found page only shows steps on how to enable auto-detection, MSIE itself has the option set by default. I think if netadmins have special wpad.example.net domain set they obviously want the mechanism to be working. When the network doesn't have that domain name it won't harm in any way and work as usual (i.e. no proxy).

Right now, we just load http://wpad/wpad.dat when asked to auto-detect proxy settings, and we delay loading the user's homepage until we get a response back from that wpad.dat request. If loading wpad.dat takes a while to fail (slow DNS resolution), then it might result in a bad user experience. So, I'm not sure what the right thing to do is.

But, wouldn't it be odd if it caused the homepage to reload? We went to great lengths in Firefox 1.5 to delay loading the homepage until after the PAC file has been loaded because more often than not the PAC file is needed in order to access the user's homepage.

Fetch wpad.dat in background and then retry any request in not-yet-connected state, so if any file is already able to load without proxy, let it finish, but all new and not-yet-connected to (re)load via proxy. 2. When starting Fx with fresh profile (and Import Wizard didn't import anything about proxy settings), let the browser fetch wpad.dat file, if it successes - set it as

Changed to wishlist. Michael have you reported this upstream at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ Im thinking those settings should be applied before ubuntu builds it.
