1002504 - Invalid links generated if "Save as" file name contains ":"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 352082

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Stanislav Brabec]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 2014031500

Steps to reproduce:

I used "Save as..." in an eBay web page. The page title was: "eBay: Silicone Case For Hard Drive"


Actual results:

Page was saved as: "eBay: Silicone Case For Hard Drive.html"

Links were saved to  "eBay: Silicone Case For Hard Drive_soubory" directory (Czech locale)

Images were referred e. g. by:

<img src="eBay:%20Silicone%20Case%20For%20Hard%20Drive_soubory/KGrHqVqcFEOkuh5w6BReMEtTC60_12.JPG"...

It apparently cannot work because "eBay:..." is not considered as a "file:" in relative notation.


Expected results:

Convert ":" character in file name references to "%3A".

<img src="eBay%3A%20Silicone%20Case%20For%20Hard%20Drive_soubory/KGrHqVqcFEOkuh5w6BReMEtTC60_12.JPG"... works well.

Work-around:
sed -i 's/\(href\|src\|data\|background\)="eBay:/\1="eBay%3A/g' *.html
