12059 - URL translation problem

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Péter Bajusz]

Description:
  Mozilla gets a "400 Bad Request" going to the above URL
  A browser should never get such an error, IMHO

Expected result:
  The url above http://www.inf.bme.hu?foo=bar should be translated to
  http://www.inf.bme.hu/?foo=bar before sending to the server.

Regression:
  This occurs on 1999-08-17-11 on Win98
  I've tested both viewer and apprunner.

  Internet Explorer 4.0 gets the translation right.

  Nav 4.51 gets the translation bad to http://www.inf.bme.hu?foo=bar/
  but it can load the document some magical way. It cannot load the background
  image however, because it gets its URL as http://stucco.gif instead of
  http://www.inf.bme.hu/stucco.gif

Are you sure it should be fixed if the link is broken in the page (as opposed 
to only when the user types it into the location bar incorrectly)? See bug 
#6211.

I think the above URL is perfectly legal, but could of course be better (in
location bar or in document), mozillas urlparser was just doing the wrong thing
with it. It's fixed, forget it.
