226228 - custom keywords don't work with strings ending in /

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 218447

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

I have a custom keyword bookmark 'v', which validates a URL string at w3c.

I'm almost positive it worked fine before on full URL strings, but now I recieve
an error passing in e.g. "http://mozilla.org/" without the quotes.

A little testing and I figured out that any string with a / at the end gives a
invalid URL error. I suspect Firebird isn't escaping a final / properly. Note
other /'s in the string work fine, so I can "v http://jmd.us/contact-me" fine,
and the w3c's validator will follow the redirect to /contact-me/, but if I
specify it like that to the keyword:

Invalid Address Error
The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded.

With error pages on, the resolved address is:

chrome://global/content/netError.xhtml?e=malformedURI&u=v%20http%3A//jmd.us/contact-me/&d=The%20URL%20is%20not%20valid%20and%20cannot%20be%20loaded.

When did this regress?  Is it a escape/unescape issue?

this is a dup of 218447.  there is a patch there, it should resolve your issue.
