57416 - download from ftp site starting from http STILL not functioning

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 54559

(Core Graveyard :: Networking: FTP, defect, P3)

Description

[George Plymale]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17-21mdk i686; en-US; m18)

BuildID:    2000101015

Does not start download when on an http site and the download is from an ftp,
just like rpmfind.net does it. I can go to any
page on rpmfind and try to download an rpm file and it will not happen. The most
I see from moz is if I "save link as" it gives me a save as, then saving, but no
progress; if I left click I get this error from the terminal:
Error loading URL
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake-devel/cooker/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS/gnorpm-0.95.1-2mdk.i586.rpm:
804b0015 

If I right click save link as this is what terminal reports:
-*- filepicker: CI: {c47de916-1dd1-11b2-8141-82507fa02b21}
-*- filepicker: IID:nsIFilePicker

we don't handle eBorderStyle_close yet... please fix me

result native path = /home/myhome/gnorpm-0.95.1.-2mdk.i586.rpm
we don't handle eBorderStyle_close yet... please fix me
we don't handle eBorderStyle_close yet... please fix me

Then an alert came once: Unknown error [1 804B0015]



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to rpmfind.net and try to download any file within mozilla. 
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Just what I described. 

Expected Results:  The file should start downloading and the progress should
step through.                

It appears that people say this bug is already known, and the priority was
stepped up back in September, but this bug is still producing the same problem.
This will be absolutely unacceptable for mozilla regular use and has prevented
me from completely erradicating the old netscape from my system. (although I use
ncftpget to work around, this is still very inconvenient and unexpected.)
