126352 - fails to load .gif images

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 87894

(Core :: Layout, defect, P1)

Description

[Jeff Potter]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID:    2002020406

From this URL, and dozens like it, Mozilla fails to load three important .gif
images: USA_FFIDX.gif, CatRating3.gif, and 3_0StyleLargeEQ2.gif. Instead it
shows the default "not found" image. Right-clicking on any of these and
selecting "View Image" shows the images correctly. This failure occurs on 4
different machines, 4 different OSes: Windows NT (2002012803), Windows 2000
(2002012403), Linux-Mandrake 8.0 (2001122108), and Windows 98SE (2002020406). 
Netscape 4.72 and Internet Explorer don't have these problems.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse the indicated URL (substitute any valid Mutual Fund symbol)
2. Note the missing .gif images
3.

This is because of markup like:

<img src="
          http://whatever
         ">

With the newlines and spaces as part of the href.  Over to parser.

Attachment: Testcase

Looks like the layout is getting confused if the character following the
opening quote is not an ascii alpha.

Any chance of either fixing this, if it's trivial, or else calling out the
evangelism squad to pay morningstar a visit?

Attachment: Temporary Fix for Missing GIFs

When I cleared out my Cache's under preferences then the GIFs started working
fine.

This also occurs when the img tag looks like this.
<img SRC="workimage.asp?month=200205" BORDER=0>

Comment 7

[Mats Åhlberg]

I have tested to clear the cache and it works about 1 time out of ten.
I also get some images that load to about 80 percent and then the rest is missing.
But most of the time i get a broken image..
I can always view the image if i choose to open it in a new tab.

I will try to generate a test case that is viewable from a external server.
