153956 - bug with URL suggestions

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Alex Ostrovsky]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020624
BuildID:    2002062408

for some sites the URL suggestions are screwed up.
eg: "p://www.perl.com/" (even when i never typed that in)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. type "http://www.perl.com" in the URL bar (& press enter)
2. clear the URL bar
3. type "p" in the URL bar (you must have URL autocomplete on)

Actual Results:  you get the suggestion "p://www.perl.com/" (which is not good)

Expected Results:  http://www.perl.com or just perl.com would be good (or even
nothing @ all would be better then what it gives now).

it would be nice to generalize this so that it would only suggest URLs if they
are valid.  as in => when u type "foo.bar.com/" it gives you a message that it
is invalid, yet when i type in "f" it suggests "http://foo.bar.com/" even-though
it just told me that it was invalid. (this would inharetantly fix the bug i am
reporting as "p://www.perl.com/" is definitly not gonna lead you anywhere).
