209964 - file:/// URLs w/ no hostname are stored w/ no hostname

Status: NEW

Description

[benc]

The combination of bug bug 70871 and bug 109982, means that you can have a file:
URL w/o hostname:

file:///User/cookie.cookie.js

That file can use javascript cookies to store a cookie w/ an empty hostname.

History has a similar problem that has never been solved (it displays "no host").

Although I don't think that is the ideal name, I would like to have some kind of
none-empty string displayed for cookies manager.

Related problems in bug 209689 and bug 161636 have been fixed, but this remains
in Mozilla 1.6f.

"Currently, we let file: URIs have an empty base domain, which works because we don't allow cookies from any other "no domain" URIs." in https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/3008
