Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 32966

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English Other, defect, P3)

Description

[David Pye]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012
BuildID:    2001101202

On the page, the link for "Boggle's Java Materials" which is
http:/~comqpq/2com0001 should map to
http://homepages.feis.herts.ac.uk/~comqpq/2com0001 when clicked, as the single /
should bring it up a directory on webserver, as it does in Konqueror, and
Netscape/IE.

Instead, Moz treats it as an absolute URL,rather than as a referenced one.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to URL
2.Click on link for Boggle's Java Materials
3.Browser will look for http:/~comqpq/2com0001 instead of mapping the relative
link to the FULL one mentioned above.

Actual Results:  Browser gets a page not found page

Expected Results:  Should follow the link:  http:/~2comqpq/2com0001 to
http://homepages.feis.herts.ac.uk/~2comqpq/2com0001 instead of trying to look up
the URL as an absolute URL.

<a href="http:/~comqpq/2com0001">Boggle's Java Intro Materials</a></p>

 Above link not dereferenced properly, but treated as an absolute URL

Reassigning to correct component for UK, though might be markable as fixed if
bug 32966 is fixed which is looking likely.
