212327 - Page Info should include some kind of URL parsing output

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Page Info, defect)

Description

[benc]

Since I've spent a lot of time working w/ URLs and parsing issues, I've wanted a
tool somewhere in Mozilla that would show all the different pieces as the URL
parser looks at a URL.

I never filed a bug until now, because it sounded too low-level and lacked a
good home (I would have wanted a new info box for the URL info).

However, some comments like:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140064#c3

suggested that putting this into Page Info (maybe providing a twistie on the URL
field or a "more URL info" button would be the way to implement this.

I think I'd like to see at least:
scheme, username, hostname, port, and path.

There are other additional URL components, but this would address some of the 
confusion people might have that causes possible security spoofing issues.

nice idea ... someone might want to take a look at urltest in netwerk/test which
has code that does just that.

Comment 2

[Ben Fowler]

Page info ought to show DOCTYPE as well. 

Would patches be considered;

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

Query tag for this change: mass-UNCONFIRM-20090614
