From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0rc1)

BuildID:    002041712

On the page http://www.ncsf-foundation.org/petition/list.php , 
select the link with text "Yahoo Petition".  This fails with 
"www.view.php: host not found".  

The URL in the link is "http:view.php?seq=1".  In my reading of RFC1738, this is
a legal URL, using a relative filename.  However Mozilla parses "view.php" as a
domain name. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load page http://www.ncsf-foundation.org/petition/list.php
2. Select link "Yahoo Petition"


Actual Results:  Error message "www.view.php: host not found" 

Expected Results:  Dereferenced link as relative on that host, i.e.,
"http://www.ncsf-foundation.org/petition/view.php?seq=1".
