1904760 - Misinterpretation of ./ path-link url

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: View Source, defect, P3)

Description

[webmaster555]

Attachment: screenshot of the page source code

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:126.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/126.0

Steps to reproduce:

a link <a href="./"> is noted with ./ (1 dot and 1 forward slash)

Actual results:

Firefox interpret the link like it was <a href="../"> (2 dots 1 forward slash) and go up in the directory arborescence

Expected results:

Stay in the same directory and NOT going up in the tree
For instance the tree is /first/second/
I'm browsing inside /second/, then I click the link <a href="./">, and I found myself now in /first/index.php instead of being in /first/second/index.php

Honza, can you add a test case? Thanks

When bulding a test case I realized I can't reproduce the reported issue. Clicking on "./" link causes the page to just stay in the same directory.

Nicolas, I am not 100% sure, but did you mention, you could reproduce this at our triage meeting?

I don't remember what I said, it's been a few weeks :/
I tested it and indeed, I can't reproduce. In view source, clicking on ./ links show files from the page current dir, and clicking on ../ links show files from the page parent dir. This was with file:// so I tried something that looked more like comment 0, but I get a similar behavior.

webmaster555 , could you share a link to a page where you see that? Or if not possible, a screencast showing the issue would be great

I'm now on FF 129.0.1, did some test today and all seems to work as intended now

"could you share a link to a page where you see that?"

Yes, one link is over-there > https://www.divescotty.com/padi-scuba-diving-courses/padi-master-scuba-diver-course.php , the big blue button "Choose a PADI scuba course" (scrolling down in the middle of the page)

Oh weird

"could you share a link to a page where you see that?"

Yes, one link is over-there > https://www.divescotty.com/padi-scuba-diving-courses/padi-master-scuba-diver-course.php , the big blue button "Choose a PADI scuba course" (scrolling down in the middle of the page)

So I doubled check:

• on view-source:https://www.divescotty.com/padi-scuba-diving-courses/padi-master-scuba-diver-course.php , we have <a href="./" title="PADI scuba courses"><h3 class="calltoaction">Choose a padi scuba course</h3></a>
• the link on ./ points to view-source:https://www.divescotty.com/padi-scuba-diving-courses/ which looks correct to me

I'm going to close the bug, but feel free to reopen it if you see something weird again
