42111 - autosubscribe problems with two news servers on the same host.

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

lookin at nsNntpService::GetProtocolForUri() I can see we are going to have
problems with this:


create a new profile, run these two urls:

news://foo/bar
snews://foo/cheese

I think you'd end up with bar and cheese on one unsecure news server, foo

but, if you di news://foo/bar and snews://foo2/cheese, it would do the right
thing.  (bar on unsecure news server foo, cheese on secure news server foo2)

I think similiar problems would happen with the port

news://foo/bar
news://foo:2000/goat
news://foo:1000/cheese

all three newsgroups would end up under one server, instead of three.

Does this issue still exist?

I'd think so.

As of ESR 128, only the host name part of the URI is considered. If a matching NNTP account hasn't been configured before, opening the URI fails with a warning in the console.
