146248 - visited links not matched correctly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 12493

(Core :: Web Painting, defect)

Description

[Pádraig Brady]

If you go to http://www.iol.ie/~padraiga/ms_mirth/ and click
on any picture and back, then the link will change to the "visited"
colour. However for the particular URL above this doesn't happen
because there is a mismatch between the URL encoded version and
that in the HTML. I.E. this URL has spaces in it.

Sorry I thought that was filled in automatically.
I'm using RC2 (2002051013), on Linux.

Also works in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0+) Gecko/20020522.

Reporter, if you click the URL link above and come back, is it marked as visitied?

If so, please provide other steps to reproduce.

Still a problem on the latest nightly for Linux

Comment 5

[Pádraig Brady]

OK, It's reproducible by:

1. going to http://www.iol.ie/~padraiga/ms_mirth/
2. click on a few pictures and back again
3. click on "Where do you want to go today?" and back

Notice that the link isn't marked as visited, probably
because the mozilla logic is not matching "spaced%20name"
with "spaced name".

Now I see it. I have never seen that before, as above spaces are encoded with
%20. The effect was described in bug 128999 which also is a dupe.
