10424 - If not typed the last "/", the page is not loaded (redirects not being followed)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, defect, P2)

Description

[Teruko Kobayashi]

If you type "http://home.netscape.com/ja" instead of "http://home.netscape.com/ja/" in the URL
location bar, the page is not loaded.

Step of reproduce
1. Launch Apprunner
2. type "http://home.netscape.com"   this page is loaded correctly.
3. add "/ja"  after "http://home.netscape.com"
This page is not loaded correctly even though in the Dos Prompt console, the message "http://home.netscape.com/ja is
loaded correctly" shows.

If you type "http://home.netscape.com/ja/", the page is loaded correctly.

I tested "http://home.netscape.com/fr" "http://home.netscape.com/zh/cn", and "http://home.netscape.com/zh/tw"
I got the same results as when I type "http://home.netscape.com/ja".

Tested 7-21-16-NECKO Win32 build.  This does not happen in 7-22-08-M9 Win32 build.

This is a redirect issue. I will look into it (cc'ing Rick if he wants to
volunteer :)

If the server did not send an entity along with the 302 status code necko would
not handle the redirect.

This should work now :-)
