170154 - Password manager doesn't show the data when visited with or withou the "www"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 92966

(SeaMonkey :: Passwords & Permissions, defect)

Description

[A. L.]

If a website is visited without the "www" prefix (http://yahoo.com), and if a
pass is saved on this page, when the user visits the same site with "www"
(http://www.yahoo.com), the password is not shown.
And it's exactly the same website...

Password only appears if it's exactly the same address as when it was entered.

At http://yahoo.com I get redirected to http://www.yahoo.com, so this shouldnt
be a problem?

Comment 2

This just was an example to show the difference www/without www... :)

But, there, if you save a login/pass : http://www.nytimes.com/auth/login , it
won't save for http://nytimes.com/auth/login ...

Ah ok :)
But I know the routing can be different with/without www. So
http://www.nytimes.com/auth/login could led to another server than
http://nytimes.com/auth/login (normally its the same, but that can be different).

If it leds to another page, there won't be the same form (ther's one chance on
some billions, maybe).
So...
