118895 - <base> tag does not properly work when href contains a trailing '.'

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect, P3)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
BuildID:    010803

<base href="http://foobar.com"> works as expected....
Any relative in that document has "http://foobar.com/" appended.

However, when you do something like:
<base href="http://foobar.com/~baz/."> ( which *does* work in all
other browsers that I've used ), the relative link all of the sudden
loses the '/' in between the base url and the relative path, like so:

<a href="phat.hml"> becomes "http://foobar.com/~bazphat.html", 
instead of "http://foobar.com/~baz/phat.html"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a html with a <base> tag in this format: <base 
href="http://server/somepath/.">
2. create a link in that html
3. look at the url that mozilla produces when you view the page.

sounds like a problem with our URL resolution code.

-> moz 1.0 maybe

enabling NSPR_LOG_MODULES=nsStandardURL:5 might help you track down this bug.

Attachment: .tar.gz file having the test case using base href

I have attached the test case using base href tag having an additional path.
Using this test case I am not able to reproduce the bug. 

Reporter, Can you please ensure that I have the same test case as you have
tested against. Can you please upload the appropriate test case, if the
attached test case is not a valid against the given bug.

hmmm, I sure can't reproduce it now.
I suppose it has since been fixed somehow.

Not able to reproduce the bug. Even the reporter is not able to reproduce the 
bug now. Hence marking the bug as works for me.
