When accssing the page, layout goes crazy.  May be JS or forms problem.

Handing over to Nisheeth for evaluation.

This is not a regression from 4.06 so we are going to fix it in 5.0...

Comment 3

[Nisheeth Ranjan]

So, this page has the following META tag:

<META HTTP_EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0: URL=http://foo">

The problem is that NET_ParseMimeHeaders() assumes that the CONTENT attribute
will use a semicolon to separate the refresh interval from the url to jump to.
Because the content attribute does not parse correctly, URL_S->refresh_url gets
set to the currently loading URL.  This results in the same page being loaded
again and the META tag being laid out again, and we are in an infinite loop.

It seems to me that for the case when the CONTENT type attribute does not find a
URL to jump to, NET_ParseMimeHeaders() should allow layout of the current URL to
continue rather than reloading the same URL again.

Passing to Gagan for evaluation.

Please note that this bug can be easily fixed by changing the meta tag's content
attribute to '0; URL=http://foo'.

Changing all Networking Library/Browser bugs to Networking-Core component for
Browser.

Occasionally, Bugzilla will burp and cause Verified bugs to reopen when I do
this in a bulk change.  If this happens, I will fix. ;-)
