164807 - protocol no longer defaults to "http" when specifying a port

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 155344

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[lode leroy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

entering "localhost" in the location bar resolves to "http://localhost:80"
entering "localhost:80" also used to resolve to the same url
but no longer does (since Mozilla 1.1 I think). It tries a protocol
"localhost" which does not exist: there now is an "Alert" box stating
that "localhost is not a registered protocol".



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type "localhost:80" in the address bar
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
(javascript) alert "localhost is not a protocol"

Expected Results:  
not interpret "localhost" as a protocol in "localhost:80" 
but as a synonym for "http://localhost:80"

dup of "URL bar doesn't understand ports without protocol"
