130090 - Custom MimeType is not been recognized in an anchor tag

Status: VERIFIED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: MIME, defect)

Description

[Nicolas Damonte]

Im developing a plugin. (Eg mimetype application/x-test) 
I build it and copy the dll to the 
plugin directory.
I send an email with:
- A text/html body 
- An embedded part application/x-
test

The html part has:
<EMBED type='application/x-test' SRC='cid: .....' >

I think 
that this line is correct, it runs the plugin, but I cannot get the stream! (Netscape 4.78 and 
2002020406)

So I tryed <a href='cid: ... '>
The Netscape 4.78 runs myPlugin but the 
2002020406 don't (It shows the embedded part as plain text).

is cid: a registered protocol Mozilla can understand?
does the problem occur to mail only or to browser as well?

Reporter: please provide a screenshot showing what netscape 4.78 does that moz
1.3.1 (or later) does not.

What kind of screenshot do you want?
Netscape 4.78 calls the program which is associated with the embedded-part's 
mime type. 
But from Netscape 6, this program is not called anymore (The content is shown 
as text).

First of all, you should not be using netscape 6. Upgrade to Netscape 7 at the
very least. I would recommend Mozilla 1.3.1

The best thing would be to load a testcase to this bug (and make a link to the
.dll file in question). If that's not possible, then take a screenshot of what
happens when you click on the link in Netscape 4.78, and in Netscape 7. Also,
give the exact text of what is the <a href

When I reported it I was using Netscape 6.
I will attach the screenshots as soon as I rebuild a tiny project to reproduce 
it.

Are you able to reproduce the problem with a more recent version of Mozilla?

Thanks

[Nicolas Damonte]

I dont't have the environment to reproduce it now. When I reported the bug I was
developing a proof of concept that I don't have anymore.

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
