Details

repeat by:

   echo hi > /tmp/zzzz:1

   view file:///tmp/
   try to click on "zzzz:1" to view it

what I see:

   nothing happens.  sometimes I see mozilla trying to open "http://zzzz:1"
   but I'm not sure what conditions triggers that.

Changing component to Networking, although that may not be the problem.  Is this
a URL parsing problem, or is a failure to encode or decode the URL somewhere
else along the line??  (Or something else?)
I think it's an encoding problem we are currently not doing at all, : is a
special character in URLs like # or ? which has to be escaped to not change the
semantics of the URL as it happens here ...
Mass move of all bugs without target milestones to M13.
Resetting QA Contact.
Bulk move of all Networking-Core (to be deleted component) bugs to new
Networking component.
