I should add, once you do, test it with a PAC style http_proxy setting and witness the segfault:

$ http_proxy=pac+http://linux/proxy.pac proxy
http://www.yahoo.com/
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Unfortunately gdb fails to help:

$ http_proxy=pac+http://linux/proxy.pac gdb proxy

And unfortunately, trying to install libmozjs-dev is a disaster:

So Karmic went GA and this bug didn't even get triaged? ~sigh~ Could somebody please look at this ASAP?

I'd dig in but without even being able to gdb it...

[Brian J. Murrell (brian-interlinx)]

OK. Just rebuilt it on Karmic final and yay -- builds with the mozjs that's in xulrunner.

But it still doesn't do anything except render all urls as direct://.

strace of the "proxy" tool shows no evidence that it actually looks for any proxy configuration in the env, files, gconf, etc.

Is there something more I should need to do than:

echo www.yahoo.com | LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.3 http_proxy="pac+http://linux/proxy.pac" proxy

You can assume of course that there is a valid proxy.pac at http://linux/proxy.pac.

[Brian J. Murrell (brian-interlinx)]

OK. Seems one of my problems was that the URL you give to [lib]proxy as to be of the format http://www.yahoo.com

Further however, I do think it still needs a rebuild against the latest webkit and mozjs.
