29191 - Some webpages refuse to load, only coming up with blank screen

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 10647

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Susuk Lim]

Certain webpages don't like to load at all.  Webpages of all sorts randomly
don't want to come up with anything but a blank browser window and a "Document:
Done(0.5 secs)"  No correlation between type of webpage, content of webpage,
etc.  My page, in particular, does not want to load (www.willamette.edu/~slim).
Logging in at MyYahoo! does the same thing, among many others.

This is a known problem (at least for this URL) but I can't find the bug for it:
The problem is that URLs don't get expanded to include index.html when the
trailing slash is missing.
Try www.willamette.edu/~slim/ (With the trailing slash), which should work fine.

I think it's bug 10647.
