323909 - Direct subscription links for podcasts using itpc:// protocol will not function in Mozilla.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Adam Clark]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/417.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/417.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.7.8

When viewing webpages in Mozilla that offer an itpc:// one click subscription URL, the link is unaccessable.  When the same page is viewed using FireFox or Safari the link works.

I am able to open the itpc:// links on the PC version of Mozilla 1.7. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Add following link to webpage to be viewed in Mozilla.  feed://uc.princeton.edu/main/index2.php?option=com_podcast&feed=RSS2.0&no_html=1
2.  When posting link use itpc:// in place of feed://.  (This will create direct link to open iTunes and subscribe to podcast)
3.  View link using Mozilla.  Will be unable on a Mac.  View using PC and everything works.

Actual Results:  
Link will appear only as text.  When viewed in Mozilla there is nothing to click on where link should be.

Expected Results:  
Link should be available to directly open iTunes and subscribe person to the given podcast.

MozillaAS v1.7.x is not supported anymore.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ?

On <http://www.podcast411.com/index.html>,
I click on the iTunes link in the upper right corner
<itpc://www.podcast411.com/feed.xml>;
then I get an "itpc is not a registered protocol." alert.

Different text, but "same" alert.
