Details

If you go to http://www.yahoo.com/new, Yahoo! have a list of Web sites to visit. All of these Web sites are loaded via relative URIs that look like this: /new/*http://www.somesite.com/ In apprunner, these URIs do not load. This is the code from the Yahoo! page: <a href="/new/*http://www.planetrx.com/">PlanetRx</a> If you change that code to read: <a href="http://www.yahoo.com/new*http://www.planetrx.com/">PlanetRx</a> then it does load (at least locally). Therefore, I'm guessing that there may be a problem with relative URIs that point to redirect pages on a server, but I can't say for sure. I also haven't tried to find similar links that use characters other than *.

Redirect trailing / bug. Fixed by nisheeth. This is a dup. I dont know of which.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
This may be a duplicate, but it isn't fixed. Reopening bug; please mark as duplicate if the other bug number is known.
Relative links that include a ? such as <a href="/homer/?http://headlines.yahoo.com/FC/World/Kosovo/"> are also broken in the 4-09-98 build of Mozilla for Win32.
Oops! Make that 4-09-99 and 4-10-99 nightly builds for Win32.
Target Milestone: M6
URL: http://www.yahoo.com/new → http://www.yahoo.com/new http://schis...
Resolution: FIXED → ---
Still not fixed in 1999042908 build.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do trailing slash bug (bug 3134 - "nsHttpUrlImpl::Equals() doesn't handle trailing '/'"). gagan?
It does have a lot to do with the trailing slash... this is deferred till Necko lands.

Not being someone who understands the trailing slash, I am going with gagan's advice and marking this as a duplicate. thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 3134 ***
Changing all Networking Library/Browser bugs to Networking-Core component for Browser. Occasionally, Bugzilla will burp and cause Verified bugs to reopen when I do this in a bulk change. If this happens, I will fix. ;-)
Bulk move of all Networking-Core (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking component.
