275540 - Mozilla not functioning with OpenVMS 7.3-1 and TCPware 5.5-3

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[thomas.ainsworth]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla on OpenVMS

It seems as though the Mozilla Application is not singing with TCPware 5.5-3

The browser comes up great; even local htm documentation runs smoothly; but the 
TCP/IP transport does not seem to be functioning correctly.

Aware that TCPware 5.6 is mentioned in the prereq's...but come on !  Please 
don't go there...   ;)




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Bring up Mozilla
2.

Sorry, I haven't been working on the OpenVMS port of Mozilla for quite a while now.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Thomas: I think your best bet is to submit a bug report
to HP.  I don't know anyone who's working on the OpenVMS
port of Mozilla now, so I can't provide any contact.

On the Mozilla releases page (http://www.mozilla.org/releases/),
the last OpenVMS release is Mozilla 1.7.  Its release notes
are at
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ips/mozilla_relnotes.html.
At the bottom of the release notes, I found a section called
Problem Reporting.  Unfortunately it tells people to file bugs
here :-)

So I still don't know how to report this bug to HP.  Perhaps
you can go through the person who provides support for your
OpenVMS system.

Is this still an issue ?
