17250 - crash if native unix path entered in URL bar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 16897

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Alec Flett]

if I enter "/u/alecf/test1.html" in the URL bar, it crashes....

It crashes trying to dereference a null char* in nsDnsService::Lookup

it looks like it's trying to convert it to an HTTP URL, because the console says
(with the attached patch which prevents the crash)
Error: Can't load: http:///u/alecf/test1.html (80004005)

Patch attached - just return NS_ERROR_FAILURE if a null hostname is given.

if you give me an ok, I'll just check this patch in, r=gagan

I'm filing a seperate bug that native unix paths try to resolve to http URLs
