(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[jesse]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

opens view source window, but window remains empty or progress indicator window
pops up with no progress occuring (hangs).
 As far as I can tell this occurs with any item page on ebay
try:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1321442507&r=0&t=0&showTutorial=0&ed=1011473871&indexURL=0&rd=1

 as example

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to www.ebay.com

2.load a page for an item for sale

3.from the view menu select page source

Actual Results:  Mozilla shows progress meter trying to save source to a dll
file on my local HD, but no progress occurs.  Source of page is not shown.

Expected Results:  Show source in page source window!

View/ page source should be rewritten.
GUI options for load from cache, load from source, or view page source with...
(user defined txt application) should be included in the cleaned up version for 0.99

Dup of bug 86835?
on a current Linux CVS i get this text in download dialog:

"You have chosen to download a file of type:
application/x-unknown-content-type;x-view-type=view-source from
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/

What should Mozilla do with this file?"

etc
