Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 555789

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[Frederik Himpe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100125 Mandriva Linux/1.9.2-2mdv2010.1 (2010.1) Firefox/3.6
Build Identifier: 

When subscribing to http://www.graphicsplanet.org/rss20.xml , Thunderbird 3.0.3 shows the message "Veryifying the feed" but does not really subscribe.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on feed account, choose Subscribe
2. Click on Add, paste URL http://www.graphicsplanet.org/rss20.xml
Actual Results:  
"Veryifying the feed" message is shown and does not disappear.

Expected Results:  
Verifying the feed message disappears and Thunderbird successfully subscribes to the feed.

If I choose the feed subscriptions dialog, Thunderbird asks me whether I really want to cancel subscribing to the feed.

The error console shows:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI) [nsIStandardURL.init]"  nsresult: "0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger-newsblog/content/FeedItem.js :: anonymous :: line 58"  data: no]

The feed displays fine in Firefox 3.6

Attachment: wml feed that causes the issue.

I can't even get to the end of the subscription process with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.2pre) Gecko/20100321 Lanikai/3.1b2pre.
