164944 - Mozilla doesn't display images with backslash (\) in the path

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 176312

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[bmaras]

Try the URL http://perso.club-internet.fr/b_maras/mozilla/image2.htm

Under IE 6, I've got the image. Under Mozilla (build 2002053012), I don't have it.
It seems like it tries to open it (There's a logo before loading it) but it
simply doesn't appear.

If I replace the \ with a /, it works (see
http://perso.club-internet.fr/b_maras/mozilla/image3.htm)

Same thing with a very simple page :
http://perso.club-internet.fr/b_maras/mozilla/image.htm doesn't work in Mozilla
but http://perso.club-internet.fr/b_maras/mozilla/image4.htm does.

"\" is not illigeal for URLs.
Mozilla accepts this only for users who are typing URLs with "\" in the URL Bar
but Mozilla doesn't support broken Links with "\".

-> invalid
