125010 - Incorrect relative URL on Swedish goverment site.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Other, defect)

Description

[Thomas Eliasson]

The site contains information on swedish laws.
There is a link from http://www.regeringen.se/propositioner/index.htm, named
'Lagar och förordningar', that takes you to the page at http://194.52.125.3/.
The incorrect page uses badly formated relative URL:s.

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt describes what an URL should look like:
'Relative URI references are distinguished from absolute URI in that
they do not begin with a scheme name.  Instead, the scheme is
inherited from the base URI, as described in Section 5.2.'

They still have url:s like 'http:/mm/indexform.html'. The correct URL should be
'/mm/indexform.html'.

This site works in MSIE.  Interestingly, in Mozilla I see a 404 for
indexform.html (the main frameset on the right), but I see a political
propaganda message about the .mm TLD that appears to be a defacement.  Not that
this has anything to do with Mozilla...

There seems to be a relevant discussion in bug 22251, and also in bug 34648, bug
40670, and several others.
