1144221 - newegg.com returns HTTP Error 400 Invalid Header

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Gene Wood [:gene]]

Firefox for Android 36.0.2

Steps to reproduce :
Browse to http://www.newegg.com/
Click the "Computer Hardware" menu item on the left (or any menu item)

Expected results :
Be taken to the Computer Hardware page

Actual results :
HTTP Error 400
Bad Request - Invalid Header
The request has an invalid header name

This happens for any link clicked

Once this occurs, even browsing to http://www.newegg.com/ results in the same HTTP 400 error

I've observed this for as long as I can remember but only gotten to reporting it here now.

I've reported this on webcompat as well now : https://webcompat.com/issues/1123

This bug is not clear if the user receives the Desktop or the mobile site. See Bug #980564
I can't reproduce the current bug for now.

When browsing with Firefox on Android 38.0.1 I get the Desktop site and this error occurs.

Gene, I guess your bug has vanished since the resolution of bug 980564

I still get the same error when browsing to newegg (the 400 bad header) error. I'm not sure if that relates to being served the desktop or mobile site as I can't tell which one I'm getting (due to the error). If I go to m.newegg.com from Google, the problem still occurs. I'm not sure the issue relates to desktop vs mobile interfaces.

I'll ask Karl in the webcompat bug if the redirect is actually live or if they merely said they would do it in the future.
