K-Melon can be configured with an automatic proxy
configuration, but it doesn't seem to do anything
with the one my proxy provides:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
ret = URLhash(url);

if ( isInNet(host,"127.0.0.0","255.255.255.0") )
return "DIRECT"

if ( isInNet(host,"10.0.0.0","255.0.0.0") )
return "DIRECT"

if (url.substring(0,4) == "ftp:") {
return "PROXY 10.17.1.99:8080;";
}

if (url.substring(0,6) == "https:") {
return "PROXY 10.17.1.99:8080;";
}

if (url.substring(0,5) == "http:") {
return "PROXY 10.17.1.99:8080;";
}

var n = ret % 3;

if ( n < 2 ) {
return "PROXY 10.17.1.99:8080 ; PROXY 10.17.1.98:8080"; }
else {
return "PROXY 10.17.1.98:8080 ; PROXY 10.17.1.99:8080"; }

}
function URLhash(name)
{
var cnt=0;
var str=name.toLowerCase(name);
if ( str.length ==0) {
return cnt;
}
for(var i=0;i < str.length ; i++) {
var ch= atoi(str.substring(i,i + 1));
cnt = cnt + ch;
}

return cnt ;
}
----------------------------------------------------
With this configuration, when I click on
a link, nothing happens. No error is displayed,
the k-meleon icon is not animated, the display is
not frozen...

Pity...

Same to me.
It seems that the automatic proxy does not work at all (it works fine with Netscape 6.x, Mozilla and MS IE)...
Would be nice to have this feature get work, or drop it :-(

We are checking on the proxy problem. We'll let you know as soon as we figure out what the cause is.

Try this fix and let us know if that works:
