Try this, but remove the plugin used in my example: <html> <body> <object id="flashPlayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="531" height="389" data="http://macromedia.com/uber/nav/global_home.swf" codebase="http://elwood.mcom.com/arun/plugins/xpi/Flash/flashplayer.xpi"> </object> </body> </html> When trying to access the XPI Package, you'll see that you're accessing a directory with lower case 'f' for flash but my markup mentions a directory with higher case 'F' for Flash. Actual Behavior: Converts the case of my markup (URL) to lower. Some case conversion code is wrong. Expected Behavior: Honors my case in URLs.
this is very bad indeed, we should not be messing with the case! Handing this one over to AV for review

Attached file test case
I'm testing mozilla 2002-08-02 on w2k here is GET request mozilla is sending to server: "GET /arun/plugins/xpi/Flash/flashplayer.xpi?application/x-shockwave-flash HTTP/1.1 Host: elwood.mcom.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020802 Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml" --- as you can see there is 'F'. Arun, who did you test it?
I tested this with many different test cases and markup, and my conclusion is same as Serge -- worksforme. Maybe on that day when I logged this problem, I was seeing ghosts in my build :-\ . So the original problem report is invalid, BUT we still have secondary question: we send the request with the QUERY string in GET: GET /arun/plugins/xpi/Flash/flashplayer.xpi?application/x-shockwave-flash Actually, we only want flashplayer.xpi, but we are sending "?" Query string also, with MIME type. Should we remove the Query string when we "GET" an XPI package specified in codebase attribute of object element or pluginurl attribute of embed element?
OK, I'm marking this bug INVALID since my findings confirm Serge's findings. Maybe I was having a weird build on that particular day. But I have logged new bug to discuss query string issue -- this is bug 162899 . In this bug, we can discuss whether this is correct behavior or not.
As per above comments, marking INVALID.
