112011 - cookie handling via file: URL fails

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect)

Description

[chado]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open http://www2.wbs.ne.jp/%7Echado/work/cookie_test/cookie_test.html
   using Mozilla.
2. Press "store into cookie" button. 
   The test_value will be stored into cookie named "moztestcookie".
3. Press "load cookie" button.
4. Confirm the test_value will be displayed in lower text box.
5. Now, save above document in your hard drive, then open it using mozilla.
6. Repeat step 2 and 3.

Expected result: 
   The test_value is displayed in lower text box.

Actual result: 
   JS can not find corresponding cookie, then display "(no cookie found)".
   In Cookie Manager: 
      (after above steps, opening Cookie Manager on win32 may cause crash)
      The cookie entry is just stored, but...
      Site column and Host box show empty or unreadable charactor(s). 
      Other items (Name, Information, ..., Expires) look fine. 
      On every another trial, new entries will be added in same Cookie Name.
      These unreadable entries are not able to be removed in Cookie Manager.
      (They will be disappeared from list once. But when close and reopen 
       Cookie Manager, they are still be there.)
   In cookies.txt (in user profile): (Mac only)
      First column (Server) is filled with unreadable charactor(s).
      This seems the problem.

Reproducible: always

Build: mac   2001-11-21-12-trunk or previous build works fine.
       mac   2001-11-23-08-trunk or newer build 
             including 2001-11-26-08-trunk fails.
       win32 2001-11-19-10-trunk or previous build works fine.
       win32 2001-11-23-10-trunk, 2001-11-25-11-trunk or newer build 
             including 2001-11-26-10-trunk fails.

note: I'm not sure if this is related with Bug 110560 .

Build ID 2001 11 23 03. Windows 2000.

Mozilla crashed when I attempted step 3 on local file. See bug 112019.

But it doesn't crash when I tried it (using NT).  ?????

Comment 3

[Alex Vincent [:WeirdAl]]

Unable to confirm due to crasher bug 110560.  When that other bug is VERIFIED
FIXED, I will revisit this one.  :)

Actually, now works on: 
   2001-11-27-08-trunk (2001112708) on MacOS 9.0.4 Japanese and 
   2001-11-27-10-trunk (2001112703) on Win98-Japanese.

Maybe It was temporary and fixed on somewhere else.
(Probably, I had to wait reporting one more day.)
Thanks.

This is why you should keep buglists current and the depends updated.
