Description
quicksilver ISO build04

Select Launch, preferences Internet. 
Configure http proxy, secure http proxy and ftp proxy.
Launch mozilla, browse to www.sun.com.
Mozill's default proxy setting is "Use System proxy setting" - this functions.

Select Launch, applications, internet, java web start.
BUG java web start does not by default successfully browse to http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/apps/remoteApps.html.

The problem is due to the proxy settings in java web start. The default proxy setting is to use the browser's (mozilla) proxy.
When mozilla's proxy is set to use system proxy setting, java web start does not read these settings.
Java web start should read the preferences, internet settings when mozilla is configured to use the system proxy settings

EVALUATION The mozilla proxy setting: "use system settings" must be new, It is not seen on Mozilla 1.4 for Sun Java Desktop, or 1.6 for windows. It's not unexpected that existing products are unaware of the setting. We need to look into supporting this moving foward. ###@###.### 2004-01-19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ###@###.### 2004-01-19 The use system proxy settings for mozilla was introduced in mercury build_06 mozilla 1.4 (ref 4882364).
