408019 - command line -compose "attachment=file://%2Fetc%2Fpasswd" fails (when combining use of %2F and /)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Composition, defect)

Description

[Lei Zhang]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20060201 Firefox/2.0.0.6 (Ubuntu-dapper)
Build Identifier: Seamonkey 2007121103

When trying to open a composer window from the command line, the attachments specified on the command line are in the form of:

file:///path/to/file

Parts of the file name can/may need to be encoded. For instance, we can encode the above as file:%2F%2F%2Fpath%2Fto%2Ffile or as file://%2Fpath%2Fto%2Ffile

In either case, if the file exists, then it should be attached to the email. One should be able to then open the attachment from the composer window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run /path/to/seamonkey -compose "attachment='file://%2Fetc%2Fpasswd

Actual Results:  
The web browser component of seamonkey opens in a separate window and displays the contents of /

Expected Results:  
The web browser component of seamonkey opens in a separate window and displays the contents of /etc/passwd, same as if the following command was executed:

/path/to/seamonkey -compose "attachment='file:///etc/passwd

I can reproduce this in the latest build of Seamonkey and Thunderbird.

I tried some other combinations, they all work, it's only the above combination of %2F and / that does not work.

/path/to/seamonkey -compose "attachment='file:%2F%2F%2Fetc%2Fpasswd
/path/to/seamonkey -compose "attachment='file:%2F%2F%2Fetc/passwd
/path/to/seamonkey -compose "attachment='file:%2F%2F/etc%2Fpasswd
/path/to/seamonkey -compose "attachment='file:%2F//etc%2Fpasswd
/path/to/seamonkey -compose "attachment='file:/%2F%2Fetc%2Fpasswd

Which version was that?

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.17 / v2.0b1?
