Details

Go to http://www.aircanada.ca/home.html, and on the left hand side of the page is a small form to check 'Flight Status'. Enter a number, and a date (e.g., 758 and Sep 19) in the form and hit 'Go'. Actual Results: browser shows a "blank" page (actually shows "<html><body></body></html>", but same thing). Expected Results: retrieves flight status (works in Nav4.x) I've used an SSL-enabled LWP command line tool to fake the request with either a 4.x or 5.x user agent string, and it works for both user agents, so this doesn't appear to be a server side botch. This fails with the 2001091803 win2k build. (p.s., when did Security-Crypto get removed from the list of browser components)
It would be best to know at least why this fails before we ship emojo.

Tested that setting the value in prefs->navigator->languages->default character coding to something else than "blank" allows the page to be displayed correctly. Hence this is a dupe of 97997 (which has some dependencyon bug 97606) Reporter, reopen if you experience this problem with the default character encoding set to a non-blank value. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 97997 ***
