22114 - mozilla build 1999121516 quits after multiple redirections

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

Click on bookmarks, personal, channels, news. Mozilla quickly paints a series of
pages to the screen, presumably because the pages are redirections. Within
seconds, mozilla quits completely.

Tracing from terminal output:

[jg@cyberstorm package]$ ./mozilla

The result is no browser loaded.

I think we can all guess the expected behaviour here :)

With WinNT 1999122208, the browser does not quit. However, on most tries,
the browser "gets stuck" during the series of redirections, and either stops
after 3 redirects, or does not lay out the final URL. On _one_ occasion, it
made it all the way through the sequence *and* displayed the final page.

[e-mail] : does it still quit on Linux?

Unable to check it: build 1999-12-29 does not load all the bookmarks in - it
only has the top three 'menus' in the list. However, typing the url in manually
does work - and the browser stays up:

I did get a load of OOPS... hash key table... errors beforehand though.

I see the error strings on the console but the page loads fine for me. Will
continue to investigate, any additional info would be appreciated.

Using win95 2000010416, the browser appears to successfully make it through
the series of redirects.

However, I do note that I end at:
   http://dailynews.netscape.com/news/index.html       -- with Mozilla
but I end at:
   http://dailynews.netscape.com/dailynews/main.tmpl   -- with Nav 4.6
which is a different, but acceptable, content page. Although, that may be
simply a result of user-agent sniffing by Netcenter resulting in a different
set of redirects (and is likely not worth the effort to absolutely confirm
this as fact). [I also get the errors in the console window, but, in my view,
those aren't really "errors" -- more like exceptions].

[e-mail] : how does it look on Linux now? Works for you?

This continues to work for me. And for lack of any response from the reporter I
am marking this as WORKSFORME.
