Description

[Wolfram Rittmeyer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0    and   Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041121   and   Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0 

I serve thre websites and have found a recurring problem in our logs (all
sites). We get some 404-entries with file-names like e.g.
"/showTutorial2_files/blue_dot.png". The file "blue_dot.png" exists, but in the
"pics" folder. This problem only occurs with firefox-browser (used on nearly 20
per cent of my sites). And not regulraly. These errors are rather seldom but
recurring and not related to one page only.

A typical line of the Tomcat-logs would be:
139.6.xxx.xxx - - [06/Jan/2005:15:53:02 +0100] "GET
/qualifikation_dateien/line.gif HTTP/1.0" 404 -
"http://www.wolfram-rittmeyer.de/qualifikation.jsp" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0"

or with older firefox versions:
217.67.xxx.xxx - - [18/Jan/2005:16:15:35 +0100] "GET
/showTutorial2_files/blue_dot.png HTTP/1.0" 404 -
"http://jsptutorial.org/showTutorial.html?lang=de&topic=standardActions" 

"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1"
My guess is, that these bugs occur when someone tries to save complete web pages
because of the naming of the files. The requested files are exactly named as
they would be named if saved as complete web page. But of course they shoulld
never be requested from our web servers by that names!

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
Haven't found a way to reproduce it but my strong guess is, that this error
occurs while trying to save the page. 



Expected Results:  
Firefox should have loaded the correct images instead of trying to load images
which are falsely named.

The bug is fixed on trunk (Mozilla and Firefox trunk builds) since 10.01.2005.
Branch builds (like Firefox 1.0 and Mozilla 1.7.x) still have this bug.
