428585 - Loading a place URI in an iFrame does not throw an exception

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[cmtalbert]

When you set an iFrame src attribute to a place URI, it shows an alert dialog, but it does not throw an exception.

If you perform an XMLHTTPRequest with a place URI, it throws an exception, so you'd expect the same behavior from loading a place URI in an iframe.

The test for this is at: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/toolkit/components/places/tests/mochikit/test_bug_405924.html.  There is a "todo" in there that should be changed to an "ok" and will cause the test to fail until this problem is fixed.

probably true for any not-handled scheme, not just place:.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.

Marking invalid, as Dietrich says this is true for any unrecognized protocol, and bug 529597 has landed, adding a place protocol and making this bug moot.
