Bug 18304 – https + proxy = crash

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: WebCore Misc.

[Jerry Zeephat]

We use Microsoft Forefront (also called ISA) proxy server at my job. Every https connection crashes both Safari and WebKit and recent nightlies. Other apps that use Webkit+https (like Adobe's app registration) crash as well. Apple's own Problem Report app fails, but does not crash. From forums and Apple support site, I know others are experiencing the same behavior, but I didn't see it reported here. From what I gather, Webkit https requests through a proxy just stalls on 10.4.11, it does not crash. (Sorry, I'm a newb here, and am just guessing at how to do this...)

Every error report following a crash, looks as below - the last line is always the same in the crashed thread. (I've not included the whole thing - if I should, let me know.):

This is not a WebKit issue.  The crash is inside CFNetwork, a system framework, and is already tracked in Radar.  Closing as INVALID to indicate that this is not a WebKit issue.
