207539 - redirect (HTTP status code 307) not being done

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[David Somers]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

We're connecting to an internal server, which redirects requests to "/" to
"/sms.html"... this works fine for all web clients (IE6, Opera 711, NN702), but
NOT for Mozilla. Mozilla gets the response from the server, but does not go to
the redirected resource... nothing happens (nothing is shown and the staus bar
just says waiting for response)

The response from the internal server is given below.

HTTP/1.1 307 Temporary Redirect
Server: Trevezel/0.1.0.12
Date: Thu, 29 May 2003 19:46:20 GMT
Connection: Close
Accept-Ranges: none
Location: /sms.html

(Yes, we also tried it with putting in a fully qualified URI in the "Location:",
but the same thing - nothing - happens.)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a server give a 307 response

Actual Results:  
Mozilla just sits there.

Expected Results:  
Gone to the URL given in the Location in the 307

Are you still having a problem?  See bug 48202, esp. the URL given there:
http://clarence.de/post-test/form.html

I can't find any other recent bug reports about status code 307 problems.
