202210 - Mozilla 1.3 displays extra text after a redirect

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 195746

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Joe Marcus Clarke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386) Gecko/0 Galeon/1.3.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386) Gecko/0 Galeon/1.3.3

After being redirected to another site (e.g. when logging in to certain sites),
the page will be drawn with extra characters (HTTP headers at times), thus
corrupting the resulting page.  The example URL above shows on example.  Here is
another screenshot that I encounter when trying to login to Cisco.com with a
valid username and password, http://www.marcuscom.com/corrupt.png.  Note the
HTTP header text toward the bottom of the window.  This same page works in
Mozilla 1.1, 1.2, and 1.4a (I also do not recall it happening in 1.3a or b).  It
is only on 1.3 that the problem is seen.

I looked for bugs on this already, but I did not find any that matched that were
relevant to 1.3.  More information can be provided if needed.  Note, all
cookies, JavaScript, and popups are enabled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a website that does redirection (e.g. a website requiring authentication)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The page is drawn with visible tags and header characters thus corrupting the
correct HTML rendering.

Expected Results:  
The extra characters should not be visible, and the HTML should be rendered
correctly.
