42784 - can't get to AOL calendar

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Chris Waterson]

To reproduce, go to the above URL and click on "My Calendar". You'll get a web 
page with the following message:

Error: Unknown hostname: calendar.aol.com:80

Tried this on MacOS and Win32. Works fine in 4.x

Dup of bug 42454?

Mozilla triggers this by its habit of adding a port number to the Host
header content. See that attached log where the only difference is the Host
header.

This could be a sever confused about its virtual hosts but I think it's
more likely to be a confused cgi script because there's a Set-Cookie header
and a clearly incorrect 200 response.

I suspect that this sort of problem is likely to recur fairly often so I
think Mozilla should stop being creative and just copy the contents of the
host field of the URL into the Host header.

Putting on [nsbeta2+] radar for beta2 fix.

Just a note that Apache servers copy the contents of the Host header into the
HTTP_HOST environment variable which is then available to any CGI script or SSI
document. Wanna bet AOL has the only broken script?

this works fine for me on all three platforms. I recently fixed the Host header 
which might have been the cause of this. Hence marking fixed.
