110071 - email address entered in forms won't pass site's validation

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Matthew M. Boedicker]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9 i686)
BuildID:    2001101201

When submitted to various sites in forms, my email address will not pass the
site's email validation.  Sites include themes.org account creation
(http://www.themes.org/account/create.php) and also all bugzillas (including
mozilla's bugzilla, which I can't log in to using mozilla).  The same data when
entered into the form using netscape 4.77 will pass the validation and allow me
to log in or create an account.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://www.themes.org/account/create.php
2. try to create a new account using a valid email address


Actual Results:  site says "invalid email address"

Expected Results:  it should have allowed me to create an account using this
email address

could this be a bug in these sites?  some browser setting?

checked the markup of URL with actual builds on w2000 and RH7.1 
with an PHP enabled Apache runing on RH7.1

all fields are POST-ed correctly.

Possible cause for denial:
Borwser agent sniffing on server.

REPORTER:
If you still see this, please add comment.
If not please close the bug WORKSFORME.
(please get the latest mozilla release 0.9.5)

I think it might have been something in my profile causing this (possibly
something that came over in the netscape profile conversion?).  I removed my
.mozilla directory and created a new profile and now it works.  I will try to
create a profile that has this problem and reopen this bug if I can do it.

99% chance your default encoding was set to Armenian.  In Armenian, the "."
character is transmitted very oddly, causing most sites to be confused.
