122338 - Saving files to disk modifies their contents

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 116008

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[Gili Tzabari]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:0.9.7+) Gecko/20020122
BuildID:    2002012216

Mozilla should never modify files without the user's permission.

When saving files to disk you may choose to remap URLs on the user's behalf (as
mentioned in the repro steps) but you must ask for his permission. If he
disagrees, you must continue saving to disk without remapping URLs (ie: don't
simply abort).

I assume this URL remapping was done for the sake of home-users who want to
download HTML files to disk and view them locally, however this wrecks a lot of
havok for those of us running servers on our systems. We _have_ the correct
setup on the client's end to be able to view the page and don't need/want the
URLs remapped.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit specified URL
2. Save page to disk
3. Notice how the link to "separator.gif" is moved from "/separator.gif" to
"/faq_files/separator.gif" in the html code

This is needed for saving complete HTML pages without breaking href. Try using
'Web Page, HTML only' mode. (It won't save images, just the HTML file) 

INVALID?

i would agree that this is an invalid,
except a bug relating to this has been filed, which if fixed, would fix this
issue...
