34391 - recent nightly builds try to access URLs as files from current website

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 38488

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[A. Liu]

From Bugzilla Helper:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.13 i586; en-US; m14)

BuildID:    2000033008



I have Mozilla using junkbuster on my Debian potato machine, and coming back

from spring break I started having weird behavior in the way Mozilla tries to

open new URLs from the location: bar, namely it doesn't try opening a connection

to a new server when "http://somethingorother.com/files" is typed in. Instead it

does a "GET http://somethingorother.com/files HTTP/1.1" from whatever website

Mozilla is currently viewing.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start a nightly Mozilla build, roughly around build 2000033008 with Mozilla

manually configured to use a junkbuster proxy running on localhost.

2. Try opening any website by URL, e.g. "http://www.satriani.com"

3. Mozilla will fail.	



Actual Results:  My Mozilla homepage is my own computer, running Apache. So when

Mozilla starts it does a "GET /~deb HTTP/1.1". So I type in

"http://www.satriani.com" and look at my Apache access.log file. Here's what it

says:

tomorrow.dhis.net - - [03/Apr/2000:19:29:53 -0700] "GET http://www.satriani.com/

HTTP/1.1" 304 - "-"







Expected Results:  Mozilla should have connected to www.satriani.com at sent it

an HTTP request.



With proxies turned off and direct connection selected in the preferences,

Mozilla has no problem correctly displaying a requested webpage.

[e-mail] - are you still seeing this problem with recent builds of 
Mozilla? HTTP 1.1 stuff has been turned off IIRC.

In fact, the situation is: Junkbuster doesn't work with HTTP 1.1 (which Mozilla 
does use by default). 
Set:
user_pref("network.http.proxy.keep-alive", false);
in prefs.js to turn off HTTP 1.1.

Does it then work?

Marking INVALID; problem is with Junkbuster.
