Comment 4 for bug 376760

I have a similar problem - though I am not sure it is exactly the same problem.

I connect to the Internet through a proxy. When I click "Add this computer" I get the following from the proxy:

-----------------------------------
ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://127.0.0.1:59137/?

The following error was encountered:

    * Zero Sized Reply Initially I had the proxy defined in System->Preferences->Network Proxy with the box to apply throughout the system checked.

Squid did not receive any data for this request.

I then changed Firefox' configuration so that address 127.0.0.1 won't go through the proxy. When I do that, I do not get the above error but I am asked to enter a password (my user password doesn't work).

I'll continue to investigate this further, but it brings up an issue, that registration may not work if 127.0.0.1 routes through the proxy in the browser's settings, so perhaps it would be good to check if this is the system setup and fix it/alert the user.
