1181316 - svg <use> with local xlink:href does not render after 301 redirect from http to https

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[kevinkevin]

Attachment: rdtestsvg.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_4) AppleWebKit/600.7.12 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0.7 Safari/600.7.12

Steps to reproduce:

(HTML file attached)
On our server, when firefox references this page with an http url, it gets redirected to the https version of the page.
You can see this at http://roadster.com/rdtestsvg.html

This problem existed also in Firefox 38, and in 40 beta 1.  It worked back in earlier versions of Firefox (36, I think).


Actual results:


The inline version of the svg displays correctly, but the svg elements with <use> that reference the svg content via xlink:href do not display.

Note that they do display if you go directly to https://roadster.com/rdtestsvg.html



Expected results:

All of the svg elements should display (look at the page with Safari or Chrome, for instance).

<use> elements must be same origin (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element/use)

Different protocol = different origin (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Same-origin_policy)
