User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.8 (Ubuntu-feisty) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.8 (Ubuntu-feisty) Images locations like http://www.wmah.org/image%5Cmelbourne3.jpg sometimes have backslashes in the address, written %5C. In IE the baskslash appears to be translated to a a forwardslash (probably due to IE's dos heritage), so in the above example IE will grab the image http://www.wmah.org/image/melbourne3.jpg which works fine. While this might be technically dubious behaviour on IE's behalf, it would be nice if firefox could replicate to make browsing websites like the one mentioned above more pleasant. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to http://www.wmah.org/ 2. observe that images like http://www.wmah.org/image%5Cmelbourne3.jpg do not load. Actual Results: Images like http://www.wmah.org/image%5Cmelbourne3.jpg don't load. Expected Results: Images like http://www.wmah.org/image%5Cmelbourne3.jpg should be translated to http://www.wmah.org/image/melbourne3.jpg prior to loading.
