VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 32895

Details

Unix paths normally use a forward slash. Under windows a backslash is more common. Those users who enter a backslash for their <IMG SRC="xxxx"> path will not have the image correctly resolved under Mozilla. IE handles both, and Mozilla should as well, otherwise some pages may appear to be broken.
I think this bug is invalid, because RFC 2396 (Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax) says "\" is not allowed within URIs. Furthermore conversion of \ to / was *removed* as of bug 32895 because of this very reason.
