8.2: Short hostnames not proxied

[ceeeekay]

Quite a few of the hosts I use via proxy have short hostnames, but since the update are not even being passed to the proxy, either HTTP or SOCKS, unless they contain a dot in the name. This is visible in the logs as there is no Type entry for the failed attempts.

Simple proxy pattern: Include \S+

Results:

• http://some-host - miss
• http://some-host.fqdn.org - hit
• http://some-host. - hit

Cheers.

Plain hostnames (no dots) were regarded as local network and bypassed in v8.0. The localhost, private local network pass-through was reverted in v8.4 on Firefox. Check About for more information.

FoxyProxy Basic (same code) v8.6 is available to download. FoxyProxy (Standard) v8.6 is awaiting review by AMO and will be available soon.

Is there a workaround for this issue until there is a solution? This issue renders the add-on unusable for me as the proxy needs to use an SSH tunnel running on localhost (no dots whatsoever).

@rodajc FoxyProxy 8.6 is already available as Basic & Standard. You can upgrade to v8.6.

You can upgrade to v8.6.

The automatic update to v8.6 caused the problem this morning... I don't know which version I was on before the update.

@rodajc Please see if this helps: https://github.com/foxyproxy/browser-extension/issues/76#issuecomment-1849732560

Tried everything. Nothing helps. I'm going to try and downgrade if possible at all.

[rodajc]

Downgrade doesn't work. The xpi is downloaded, not installed. And once downloaded it is opened by termux.

My problem is not related to the dots nor to v8.2. I'll open a separate issue.

Short hostnames in 8.6 work for me - thanks :)
