[SakuraJ]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040421
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040421

Host for relative links for stylesheet and images on this page defaults to
strange 192.x.x.x host (non-existent).

REGRESSION: works in mozilla prior to 1.7a.  (Mozilla 0.8 -- 1.6)




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on url (may take a long time to load because it is timing out on links
to non-existent host)
2. view source: note that links to style sheet and images are relative urls.
3. view page info: click on "media" tab and "links" tab to see that stylesheet
and image urls default to 192.x.x.x. address. 

Actual Results:  
links default to strange address, using HTTP
http://192.x.x.x:port/

Expected Results:  
links default to document host, using HTTPS

Thanks.  Is there a way to make mozilla show these headers?  It does not appear
in the Page Info.

Moving to Tech Evangelism like other content-location site bugs.

you can use http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org (I used wget, though)

but I wouldn't be so quick with tech evang. we may want to work around this.
waiting for bz's opinion.

maybe a whitelist would be the way to go here...

Filed RFE to add Content-Location to Page Info as bug 241656

I think this bug is related/similar to bug 241065.

I've backed out content-location support.
