(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect)

Description

[Lutischán Ferenc]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; hu-HU; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; hu-HU; rv:1.7.6 and 1.7.5) Gecko/20050319

I'm programing in java. When I use e.g.
response.encodeUrl("Menu?lang=hu&code=myvc") this will result eg.:
"Menu;jsessionid=842278F53946A2B84BB052A866E088C9?lang=hu&code=myvc"
In html e.g: <a
href="Menu;jsessionid=842278F53946A2B84BB052A866E088C9?lang=hu&code=myvc">menu</a>

When I click on this link, in result will be 2 get; or if the link in form
action and method is post 2 get, and 1 post etc.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Only one call / click to the server.

This is not urgent problem, in my company my users use IE6, and IE6 works normal.

ok... this looks like the same as bug 288624, which you marked invalid?

There is I think no problem with jsessionid.
There is a problem with duplicate request to the server.
Mozilla sends 2 requests to the server on sometimes:
1. accept =
text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5
2. accept = image/png,*/*;q=0.5

The first request make a session invalidate, and the second is make an error
without session.

Any idea why send Mozilla 2 requests?

Ok, I found the source of the problem.
Our html designer puted the following line into the html pages:
<TD bgColor=#000000 colSpan=3><IMG height=1 src="" width=650></TD>

In this case on the screen every thing is ok (an 1 pixel height black line).
But Mozilla sends a request for an image to the server with the servlet name.
I don't know it is a bug or not, please change the state what you want.

I verified comment 4 on my local webserver.

empty relative urls as in <img src=""> refer to the page that contains that
<img>. not a bug.
