(Keywords: regression)

someone has changed the behaviour of how mozilla handles urls typed into the location bar that specify the ports. "yahoo.com:80" used to bring up the yahoo home page (tested in mozilla 1.1 alpha back) but now (2002071508) you get an error saying that yahoo.com is not a registered protocol. Instead you need to type in "http://yahoo.com:80". This is a contrived example but people frequently specify different ports.
protocol and path are seperaced by ":". Maybe we should read it this way, if there's no "/" in the protocol name?
This is a regression from 1.0 -> http
