149563 - plugins for download managers do not refer so that directing cgi-scripts don't work

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect, P3)

Description

[Simon Stratmann]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
BuildID:    2002053012

I installed several plug-ins for FlashGet or GetRight. Both of them send a
"antileech.cgi" or "d.x" to the DownloadManager instead of the file the script
should refer to.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download and install FlashGet and the plugin for it
2. Go to a site using anti-leech-script as every bigger downloadsite should do.
3. Download a file and you should get a file containing a message from the
script and not the file itself.

Actual Results:  As described, I get a small file containing an error message
from the script.

Expected Results:  Mozilla or the plug-in should read the script and *then* send
the url that it got from the download-script to the DL-Manager.

I am not sure if this is an error of Mozilla or the programmers of the
DL-Managers or the plugins, sorry.

need a real testcase for this one.

there are about a zillion different anitleech scripts out there, and without 
knowing which one you encountered this problem with, we have no way of knowing 
if:

1. Bug with script
2. Bug with plugin.
3. bug with browser.

As it is, I am leaning towards #1.  I cant seem to reprodcuse this problem, but 
then again, I freely admit I might be going to the wrong sites.

Thanks,
anthonyd
