120046 - [OS/2] Can't Display a Page It Saved to Disk

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: File, defect)

Description

[Felix Miata]

I used OS/2 Mozilla 2002011017 to save indicated URL to disk. I can't see
anything wrong with it loaded from source, but when I open it from  disk, the
only things displayed are the menu and navigational portions at the top and
left. The main body area at lower right is all whitespace. When I open it from
disk in Netscape 2.02 for OS/2, it looks essentially the same as Mozilla
displays the original URL. Usenet posting indicates same errant behavior on
windoze Mozilla, but no problem using IE.

clarified this is OS/2.

I wonder if bug 129696 is related? Looks like file handling might be fubar in
general.

Were you saving this to a FAT drive or HPFS?

HPFS. It won't save anything at all to FAT.

I think I have investigated this one before and it belongs in evangelism.

The issue is this line in the HTML and others like it:

<LINK rel="stylesheet" href="//www.ibm.com/data/css/v11/ns1.css" 
type="text/css"/>

Mozilla doesn't know what to do with these URLs when downloading the page to 
disk so certain key pieces don't get downloaded.

[Adam Lock]

The webbrowserpersist object doesn't filter URLs through URI fixup so it expects
them to be correct. It will not work on on a malformed URL such as
"//www.ibm.com/data/css/v11/ns1.css".

I'm actually not seeing this problem on the current build.

The only thing missing is the

Storage>Hard drives>Technical Support menu at the top.

This is working as best as it can in current builds. Most of the page 
displays (much more than did in January)
