181242 - png image: if http permision denied, odd message

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Sean Young]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

The URL is broken! The http server returns error 403: Forbidden. However,
mozilla displays "valid-html32.png (TEXT/HTML image)" in the title bar, and The
'image “http://www.msxnet.org/valid-html32.png” cannot be displayed, because it
contains errors.' in the body. It seems it is trying to render the html as png,
which fails (obviously). However it should just output the html stating
"permission denied" from Apache.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create png file on webserver
2. Set the permissions so the webserver can't read it
3. Request the png with mozilla

Actual Results:  
mozilla displays "valid-html32.png (TEXT/HTML image)" in the title bar, and The
'image “http://www.msxnet.org/valid-html32.png” cannot be displayed, because it
contains errors.' in the body. 

Expected Results:  
Render the html of the apache 403 error.

wfm with win2k build 20021120.. (got 403/forbidden)

Reporter:
Can you please clear the cache and try it again ?

[Sean Young]

No, clearing the cache does not help. However, I've just downloaded a nightly
and it works fine! So it's already fixed. Apologies for reporting this.

Used nightly 20021120.

Changing status to resolved, and banging head against wall.
