284932 - "data" URI vs text/calendar content type

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Julian Reschke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1

Embedding a data: URI for a text/calendar entity, such as

      <a type="text/calendar"
href="data:text/calendar,BEGIN:VCALENDAR%0ABEGIN:VEVENT%0ASUMMARY%0A%20:WebDAV%20IETF%20meeting%0ADTSTART%0A%20:20050309T150000Z%0ADTEND%0A%20:20050309T173000Z%0AEND:VEVENT%0AEND:VCALENDAR%0A"
>TEST</a>

doesn't yield the expected result. When following the link, the UI should behave
the same way as when accessing an HTTP resource with content type text/calendar,
thus report the proper content type; and suggesting to launch the applicatiom
conf'd for iCalendar resources.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
Download dialog doesn't display any meaningful file type, nor suggests the right
external application.

no xslt anywhere around, reassigning to firefox for further triage, I have no clue
where this should go.

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.
