(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6

Hello, certain websites are not found via Firefox. For example
http://service.sap.com. I believe the problem is connected with the fact that
http://service.sap.com is used as a placeholder for other webserver, e.g.
https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/ (get it over internet explorer)

Once you did enter one of these servers in firefox you can also use
http://service.sap.com.

Best regards, Lars

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter http://service.sap.com  in firefox
2. Enter http://service.sap.com  in internet explorer




Expected Results:  
website should get found.

The build this bug is reported against is too old.  Please recheck using a
recent nightly build[1,2] to verify that the behavior still exists and post the
results here.

Thanks.

Check your connection settings (DNS, Proxies, etc.), and clear your cache.
If you're still unable to resolve this problem, consult the MozillaZine forums
for user support (http://forums.mozillazine.org).

Why user support? As said if I have reached once theside over
https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/ then http://service.sap.com works also. So proxy
settings..... are ok.

Can you reach the website without problems?

Yes, no problem. Possibly te DNS-server is not yet updated?
