The page
  http://www.student.utwente.nl/~hardboard/evenementenfotos.html
contains IMG tags with wrong URLs in it. The URLs contain backslashes.
Example
  <img src="pictures\bordzager.jpg">

If I go directly to the image
  http://www.student.utwente.nl/~hardboard/pictures\bordzager.jpg
then the URL is replaced by 
  http://www.student.utwente.nl/~hardboard/pictures/bordzager.jpg
and the image is displayed.

The original page
  http://www.student.utwente.nl/~hardboard/evenementenfotos.html
however does not display the image. It doesn't even display a broken image icon.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit the page
2.
3.

Actual Results:  same result

Expected Results:  show the image

AFAIK a "\" is invalid.


Hi
.. ~hardboard/pictures\bordzager.jpg
that would mean:

FILE pictures\bordzager.jpg in the directory ~hardboard...

I know: MS IE would display the picture, because IE thinks \ and / are the same..

but mozilla does imho the right thing...
resolving WONTFIX .. maybe someone recalls the bug that this can be dup'd against?

According to bug 32895 this seems to have been fixed. I.e. the \ will only be
escaped. The test URL
  http://www.undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca/~dj3vande/rfc\compliance.html
confirms this. 

However my Mozilla still (or again?) changes \ to /. On NT as well as on Win95.

What I would expect is an error message if I request the wrong URL directly, and
a page with broken image icons if they appear in a page.
 
The current behaviour is inconsistent.


When does this happen? We still do it if you just put something like
c:\path\file into the urlbar. Then it gets changed to file:///c|/path/file. 
Well, it happens with 'http://' as well.
Well, that's bad, must be somewhere in the docshell ... I will investigate ...
The fixup happens inside nsDefaultURIFixup.cpp for http, https and ftp. I was
under the impression this stuff has been dropped a long time ago. On windows we
replace every \ with / when a http, https or ftp url is typed into the urlbar.
This happens on the whole url, not only the directory-part, which is really,
really wrong. 

In my opinion this fixup should only happen on windows when someone types
something in the urlbar that looks like a filepath. Other then that this fixup
should not happen at all.

But that is outside the scope of this bug, which is really about a link
containing  a \ where it should be a /.
filed bug 122270 as a spinoff ...
