142074 - Differences in parsing local files between Mozilla and other browsers on OSX

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 140606

(Core :: Networking: File, defect)

Description

[scott buchanan]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.0+)
Gecko/20020501
BuildID:    2002050103

To reach a local file on Mozilla the URL is (for example)

file:///Apps/Adobe%20GoLive%206.0/Help/help.html

whereas on IE 5.1 and OW sp77 it is

file:///Volumes/Apps/Adobe%20GoLive%206.0/Help/help.html

to reach the same file.  This seems to be an issue with the use of the /Volumes
directory by OSX for mounted volumes and partitions.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter URL with /Volumes and no page appears
2. Enter URL without /Volumes and everthing is fine
3.

Actual Results:  see above

file:///Volumes/Apps/Adobe%20GoLive%206.0/Help/help.html

The path format which begins with /Volumes/ is a Posix path which is used by
HFS+ on Mac OS X. We are not using HFS+ (I'm presently working on it) and so
such a path means nothing to HFS (the decrepit file APIs we are using)

Anyway, this isn't a bug. We're using path formats that are approriate for the
file system APIs we're currently using.

REOPEN:
If its not open, it isn't visible to people (plus you are going to fix it
eventually).

I'm trying to hunt down the dupes and put them here.

Reversing dupe b/c the other subject is clearer (and this bug is not prevending
dupes).
