27741 - can't visit directorys with ftp that include # or :

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: MathML, defect, P3)

Description

[Andreas Otte]

PROBLEM:

can't visit directorys with ftp that include # or :

HOW TO REPRODUCE:

create directorys on a ftp-server that contain # or : in it's names. Put some
files into this directorys. Fire up mozilla against the the ftp server and try
to visit these directorys by clicking with the mouse on the nsDirectoryViewer
representation. Nothing happens.

WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN:

the directorys should be opened and the files displayed.

NOTE: This works fine when visited over file urls (see bug 17964).

I have a fix for this. Do you have a test URL?

Comment 2

[Judson Valeski]

nevermind. I found a test. works for me. I'll get this reviewed and checked in.

Comment 3

[Andreas Otte]

Just my own local webserver that is not accessible from the outside, just send
me the diff, I will check it out.

Comment 4

[Warren Harris]

Is there a high enough probability of hitting this that it should go in the 
beta?

Comment 5

[Judson Valeski]

this should be fixed. I think I already checked it in.

Jud, my test directory with the ':' in it's name will not open.  Triangle keeps 
spinning.  Use ftp://slip/export/docroot/projects/dogbert/test/web/internal/   
to see this.  The directories are   test1:dr   and   test2#dr.  There should be 
a test.html file included.  Not a beta item obviously.

This is happening again with : because we no longer escape : in filenames (in my
local build I'm doing that again to see if something fails, zdnet-urls are
comming to my mind ...) and the code that might have fixed this in most cases
without having to escape : is not making it into the build (bug 22251).

Comment 8

[Andreas Otte]

with the changes checked in for bug 26003 this one is fixed too.
