148868 - Wrong host used when opening a link.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 38488

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Matthew MIller]

Hi, I'm using Mozilla build 2002052309 on an Intel Linux 2.4.17 machine. I've
observed this bug for the past six months or so. Now, I've found site where I
can reproduce this bug. From looking at the HTML of the affected sites I don't
believe that the HTML is the problem, but you be the judge.

Go to http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=FXRuby and click on the
link to http://www.fxruby.org. It doesn't matter whether the link is opened in
the same window, a new window, or a new tab. What happens is that
http://www.ruby-lang.org is opened INSTEAD of http://www.fxruby.org!!

It seems that the wrong host is used to open the link. For instance, I've also
seen this behavior: I'm visiting http://blah.org in one tab. Blah.org has a link
to http://foo.com/report.html. Clicking on the link to foo.com to open it into a
new tab results in a 404 error, because the browser tried to access
http://blah.org/report.html !

Mozilla is a great browser, but this behavior has caused me alot of grief. If I
can help in any way please feel free to contact me. I will give what ever
assistance I can to help.

Reporter: Do you use a proxy ? (like the broken junkbuster)

Hi Matthias, yep I am (_was_) using junkbuster. Thank you for your response!
This is just the hint I needed to fix things.

Thank you for your attention and hard work on the Mozilla project!

reopen 
fixed= patch in the bug..


Junkbuster is broken. Please select Http/1.0 in the preferences  for proxys and
clear the Disk Cache. (Junkbuster is broken with Http/1.1, you can't see the
problem with NS4.7x and other bowsers because they use only Http/1.0)
