16558 - Images with complex URL fail to load

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 17393

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

Some pages with images that are ads fail to load those images: examples are
http://www.maccentral.com/
http://www.macweek.com/

Examples of their URLs:

Image URL:
http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/idg.macworld.com/newsside3;sz=120x90;stile=3;ord=
991015153430?

Link URL:
http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/idg.macworld.com/newsside2;sz=120x60;stile=2;ord=
991015153430?

Perhaps the ; in the URL breaks URL parsing somewhere?

On linux all adds load, but on both sites the Stuffit add gets only one cycle of
it's animated picture, then the reload fails. So I think this is not urlparser
problem. Maybe a timing problem.

Bulk move of all Necko (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking

component.

the problem is when mozilla tries to load the image from the
          server and instead the server returns another location for the
          image.

verifying dupe, as I telnetted into doubleclick myself to see the redirection.
