I guess I get the honor of working on this one...

Comment 2

[Olivier Cahagne]

Isn't this dupe of bug 22299 ?

Comment 3

[Bradley Baetz (:bbaetz)]

Yes. Colin, I thought you'd fixed that. I'm not going to be able to touch moz
stuff til Tuesday at the very earliest.

Bug 22299 is really about publish (via FTP) support, while this is about remote
browsing (via FTP). Two different pieces of code, I believe.

Oh. I thought that bug was about getting all basic VMS interop going...

Well, you own the bug, so if you want to fix browsing a directory here, then you
can reopen, if not, then please mark this VERIFIED/DUPE.

Comment 6

[Colin Blake]

I do plan on getting FTP directory support working at some point, so I'd like to
keep this bug open.

Comment 7

[Colin Blake]

This is in 1.5 (beta onwards). Marking fixed.

Comment 8

[Carl Karcher]

Can this be re-opened to add support for OpenVMS ODS-5 volumes? As of Mozilla
1.7 this only appears to be fixed for ODS-2 volumes.

Comment 9

[Colin Blake]

I would suggest that you open a new bug report for the ODS-5 issue, though to be
honest, none of Mozilla behaves too well with ODS-5 volumes. When you enter the
new bug, please report exactly what the error is (do you see an error message?)
and which IP stack and version is running on the server.
