Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 155344

Description

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

(Note: may be intentional, but I couldn't find any reference to it in bugzilla
or release notes.  The behaviour changed at some point between this snapshot and
1.0.)

Typing in "www.foo.com:7500" or any other hostname:port combination, without a
preceding http:// or other protocol results in "www.foo.com is not a registered
protocol".  Previous versious would assume http:// and attempt that (I'm
assuming if the first part wasn't a valid protocol and looked like a hostname or
something).  Entering just "www.foo.com" performs the expected behaviour.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ctrl-L
2. www.foo.com:7500
3. Enter


Actual Results:  
(See Details)

Expected Results:
