129671 - Links that contain uppercase letters in the server address, the URI is not displayed as visited

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 99091

(Core Graveyard :: History: Global, defect)

Description

[Christopher D. Coleman]

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

When a link is followed that contains uppercase letters in the server address,
the URI is not displayed as visited, but the version with all lower case letters
in the server name is displayed as visited. This may be related to the fact that
Mozilla changes server names to lower case when they are visited through a link.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two links to the same location, one with upper case letters in the
server name and one without.
2. Follow the link with upper case letters in the server name.
3. Go back to the link page.

Actual Results:  The link with no upper case lettes in the server name is shown
as visited and the one with upper case letters in the server name is shown as
unvisited.

Expected Results:  Both links should be shown as visited.

Hear Hear, I fully agree. Host names are not case sensitive.
