338962 - IPV6 raw addresses are not being accepted correctly.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Toolkit Graveyard :: Plugin Finder Service, defect)

Description

[sailaja josyula]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0

When installing a Windows plugin using IPV6 address the 'allow website' display does not add IPv6 (raw) address correctly.  If the website is say 2002:92a:8f7a:20:9:42:81:231 only 2002 is added to the list of acceptable websites.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select 'Install plugin Manually' button
2.User is prompted to allow website where the plugin resides
3.Select accept button for site URL = 
2002:92a:8f7a:20:9:42:81:231. 
Actual Results:  
Of the site address 2002:92a:8f7a:20:9:42:81:231 only 2002 is picked. The site is never accepted and the User is repeatedly prompted to accept the web site.  

Expected Results:  
Site 2002:92a:8f7a:20:9:42:81:231 is placed in the list of accepted website and Mozilla completes the manual install of the plugin.

you talking about installing extensions? PFS has no "Install plugin Manually" button.

Comment 3

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Reporter: Is there a example page where one can see this plugin (IPv4 if possible :)?

doron: Probly the Reporter meant the "Manual Install" button which appears when the plugin cannot be found on the pfs server or the installation fails. Maybe the plugin he is trying to install is a XPI file (hence the allow website to install dialog)?

Sounds like someone is hand-parsing URL strings.

Comment 5

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

I'd block on this if someone can at least provide a testcase.  Doron, can you track down the reporter via internal means?

Comment 6

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

Until this is confirmed, we can't block on it. Clearing flag, please see if we can get a confirmation (reporter? doron?) and feel free to renom.

What about creating a bug on the bugzilla landfill server and attaching an xpi?
