314826 - IFRAME URLs containing ? behave erratically

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Iain Brown]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051025 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051025 Firefox/1.5

If I have the url "src="http://www.webl.com/rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t" in an IFRAME tag, FireFox does not attempt to load the frame. If I change the final t to X ("src="http://www.webl.com/rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?X") FireFox attempts to load the frame. (There is no page there, just a 404 error.) This is condensed from a real-world problem with the url pointing to amazon, hence the strange string. If I remove the ? (or the rcm.amazon.com) I can't reproduce the failure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a local HTML file with the following contents:
<html>
<head>
</head>

<body>
<iframe frameborder="1" src="http://www.webl.com/rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t"
></iframe>
</body></html>

2. Point browser to file, observe blank white box with no error text

3. Change the final ?t in the url to ?X

4. Point browser to file, observe 404 error

WFM, too.  If you navigate to the first URL normally, do you get a 404, or a blank page?  Try clearing your cache, maybe?

Apologies. Yes, I did all that - what I didn't do was disable adblock. I thought I'd done that earlier. WFM too now. Could you close / kill / update this bug as appropriate?
