This patch addresses an issue with Firefox's proxy detection on networks which
do not have their a proxy auto-configuration (PAC) file hosted at
http://wpad/wpad.dat, and instead make use of DHCP option 252 for broadcasting
the address of the PAC file. See https://findproxyforurl.com/wpad-introduction/
for an introduction to the protocol.
Prior to this patch, proxy auto-detect missed out the DHCP query stage, and just
looked for a PAC file at http://wpad/wpad.dat
This patch only addresses the issue for Firefox on Windows, although it defines a
DHCP client interface which could be implemented on other platforms.
The high-level components of this patch are:
* nsIDHCPClient.idl - this is an interface which has been defined for querying the
DHCP server.
* nsPACMan.cpp - where previously when the PAC URL was simply set to a constant of
http://wpad/wpad.dat, it now dispatches an asynchronous command to the proxy
thread. The class ExecutePACThreadAction has been augmented to include an
instruction to 'ConfigureWPAD' (Configure Web-proxy auto-detect), and a new class,
'ConfigureWPADComplete' has been created to relay the result (the URL of the PAC
file) back to the nsPACMan object.
* nsProtocolProxyService.cpp
Minor changes to reflect the fact that the PAC URL not being set does not always
mean there is no PAC to be used; instead it could be in the process of being
detected.
* TestPACMan.cpp
This is a new file, and tests only the DHCP auto-detect functionality.
Some tests use multiple threads, as they test the non-blocking proxy detection.
* DHCPUtils.cpp
A class containing the main logic for querying DHCP.
* WindowsNetworkFunctionsWrapper.cpp
A very thin wrapper around the Windows API calls needed by DHCPUtils.
This class was introduced so it could be mocked out in tests.
* nsWindowsDHCPClient.cpp
* An implementation of the interface defined in nsIDHCPClient.idl. Fairly thin:
most logic is implemented in DHCPUtils.
* TestDHCPUtils.cpp
Tests for DHCPUtils and nsWindowsDHCPClient
