26656 - problems reading local file:/// directories

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 25303

(Core :: Networking, defect, P2)

Description

I'm unable to read local file:/// directories, although local files load ok when
you use the File | Open File menu item or typing the full path into the url bar.
For example, if I type in:

file:///C|/WINDOWS/Desktop/foo.html everything is ok

If I strip out the foo.html, then nothing displays. Even stranger yet, if I then
strip out Desktop, the Windows directory does load briefly, and I am then
redirected to http://keyword.netscape.com/keyword

I'm gonna steal from dougt for now. I've got a couple of other directory viewer 
bugs that may all be related. FWIW, I am able to sporadically display some 
directories but not others. Doesn't seem to be related to brutal sharing, 
because I get similar behavior with the XUL cache on/off. Hmm.

Also, giving this the "beta1" nomination.
