21903 - Image URL redirection fetches the wrong image

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Pierre Saslawsky]

Tested with recent builds on Mac and WinNT:
- go to http://www.fastball.com
==> The small animated gif at the top left corner is all garbled.

The URL for that image is:
  http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/cim.fastball/;sz=120x90;tile=1;ord=199960
which, as of today, is redirected to:
  http://ads.cimedia.com/MARKETING/www.greatoutdoors.com/120x90/go120x90.gif

If you go to the first URL with Nav4x, you get the right image (120x90 pixels).
If you paste the same URL in Mozilla, you get the wrong image, which is the same
468x60 image that appears at the center of the page.

My guess is that Mozilla doesn't use the full URL to fetch the small image.
Instead of:
  http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/cim.fastball/;sz=120x90;tile=1;ord=199960
it goes to:
  http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/cim.fastball/
which returns the big image.

This is a known bug, look at bug 14801. URLParser-problem. Only the last param
makes it into the URL not all of them. With the patch on 14801 it is doing fine,
what's still missing (buts thats another bug) is the update of the URLbar on
redirection.
