321706 - Some elements of pages in sub-directories are not loaded if the URL ends by /.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Romain BEZUT]

This works only on a page placed in a sub directory of a site, like per example :
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

When the URL ends by "/." :
 - First the url is changed in the location bar, the final . is removed
 - Elements of that page which are called from relative URL are not loaded anymore

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
Now look on
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/?/.
Some elements disappeared, because the browser try to load :
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox../download.js instead of http://www.mozilla.com/download.js

It's an other example wich is more obvious.

Please do write a unit test for this, you should be able to use just nsIIOService.newURI there.
