168586 - typing a hostname with a port into the location bar no longer defaults the protocol to http

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 155344

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Brian Leonard]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910

Prior to 1.1, typing "myhostname:8080" into the location bar would connect via
http.  1.1 and now 1.2a give the error: 'myhostname is not a registered
protocol'.  Using the IP address does work, however.  So '10.0.0.1:8080' WILL
connect via http.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type this into the location bar: "www.google.com:80"
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
"www.google.com is not a registered protocol"

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should attempt to connect to the givent host and port via http.

Is 20 seconds too long or too short?
