1079158 - Image URLs containing a query string and no file extension fail silently

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

Attachment: Test case demonstrating the problem

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
Build ID: 20141006030202

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run a local web server on port 8080.
2. Open the attached document, `test.html`, in Firefox.



Actual results:

The server received no requests.



Expected results:

The server should receive two requests.

The issue only occurs when the image URL has a query string AND it has no file extension. Either removing the query string or adding a file extension will cause the problem not to occur.

The contents of the query string and the file extension do not appear to matter.

My server runs on port 80, but changing the port in the URL to 80, I can't reproduce (that is, I see the requested image show up in my apache logs). I see one request, but that kind of makes sense because caching.

Have you checked with a clean profile and/or doublechecked that it's not your server's log that's missing the request (using something like wireshark)?

Okay, really sorry to waste your time with this.

Whatever was wrong, I can no longer reproduce it. I had to reboot my machine to install Wireshark and now my server logs one request, as you describe.

Resolving as invalid, sorry sorry sorry.

No worries, I'd rather have too many bugreports than too few. :-)
