1148173 - nsFileChannel strips off the end of URLs when the file is a symlink

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 867407

(Core :: Networking: File, defect)

Description

[Bill McCloskey [inactive unless it's an emergency] (:billm)]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1051117 +++

This is the same problem as was described in bug 1051117 comment 17 (thanks to Daniel for pointing that out). However, I can reproduce it easily. Just run toolkit/mozapps/extensions/test/xpinstall/browser_localfile4.js locally. The bug only happens locally because one of the files the test uses is a symlink in the objdir. When run on tinderbox it's a real file, so we don't run the code that strips off the end of the URL. In this case, though, we're stripping off ?foo rather than #foo.

Thanks, Aleksej -- I guess this is a dupe of bug 867407.
