foxyproxy

Hm, I thought this was fixed in FoxyProxy 2.6. Can you please give me a real feed that doesn't work?

thanks,
eric

Hi,

The problem is present with any feed i have tried.

For example "clicking" on feed indicator (in thye irl bar) of the web site addons.mozilla.org I receive the following error message:

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: feed://https//addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:1/cat:all/format:rss?sort=update

The following error was encountered:

* Invalid URL

Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect. Possible problems:

* Missing or incorrect access protocol (should be `http://'' or similar)
* Missing hostname
* Illegal double-escape in the URL-Path
* Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed

I have the same problem with Firefox 3.0 rc2 and FoxyProxy 2.7.4.

When click on the firefox's feed icon, firefox try to open a page like "feed:http://rss.xxx.com/blog/yyyy.xml" and no response at all. After select the "Completely disable FoxyProxy" the problem disappeared.

Is there any workaround or the problem solved in newer version?

OK, I got the same problem too.
only happens when click on the feed image in the url bar (Subscribe to this page ...).
for example:
the website is http://www.cnbeta.com, it has a feed which url is http://www.cnbeta.com/backend.php?atom
so if I click the feed image in the url bar, the problem occured.

reproduce condition:
(1) Foxyproxy is running in a mode for all URLs, something showed "Use proxy 'Shanghai' for all Urls".
(2) It only happened when click the feed image to subscribe feeds.

Under these condition, the firefox use the URL
feed://http//www.cnbeta.com/backend.php?atom
to connect proxy server, so the proxy tell me the error reason, it cannot recognize the URL begin with feed://
here is the return message from proxy


Technical Information (for support personnel)
* Error Code: 502 Proxy Error. The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) does not use a recognized protocol. Either the protocol is not supported or the request was not typed correctly. Confirm that a valid protocol is in use (for example, HTTP for a Web request). (12006)
* IP Address: 10.135.63.3
* Date: 7/4/2008 5:38:43 AM


If I manual setting the proxy in firefox's network setting and uninstall foxyproxy or disable foxyproxy, it will not occur the problem.
If I enter the " feed://http//www.cnbeta.com/backend.php?atom " in the address bar, it will occured the same problem with foxyproxy enabled, and disappeared when foxyproxy disabled.
So it must the Foxyproxy's problem.

And I guess the reason is the protocol processing of foxyproxy, exceptionSchemes is a variable to process the feed problem here. And it seems the keypoint to solve the problem.

Here is the my foxyproxy.xml setting.

Running mode is "Proxy XXX for all Urls"

Thanks for the detailed information. I've reproduced it and will fix it now. It can also happen in patterns mode with a whitelist pattern "*".
