At the url, there is a simple page with a meta tag used for redirection. <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=0,2320,seq-2030-48117---MIA,00.html?BV_SessionID=374288446.954158239&oid=537073483&pBW_KKOO=0,1489,UEFSQU1FVEVSMz1NVEF6TnlCN"> Mozilla tries to redirect to http://www.kasskooye.net/0 It stops at the first comma.
Yep, redirect with comma is stuffed. Bug confirmed here on 2hr old build.
While this does work in IE, I don't know that it's supposed to. I don't think the comma is a valid character for use in a URL. I belive the proper way to do this meta refresh sould be to replace each "," with a "%2C".
Found today that it is only in the meta tag that the problem lies. I came up on this page : http://www.whatis.com/WhatIs_Definition_Page/0,4152,214107,00.html which, as you can see, has comma in it but loads in Mozilla

This does not look like a Necko problem. The HTTP channel for the URL http://www.kasskooye.net/0 is not created within Necko. It seems to me that the parser is failing to parse the META refresh correctly. Also, I've confirmed the bug under Linux [build 2000102309]. ->parser

This aint a parser bug it's a content sink bug. I think.
Who's responsible for content sink bugs?
I think Peter Anemma ( hopefully I got his last name right! ) worked on the <META> tag recently and I don't know his email/contact address. I will take a look into this bug. Could you tell me how serious this bug is? Is this a must fix for rtm? etc. Thanx

I've got a fix for this, harishd. I just need to look at the issues you had with it (return values and add more comments). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 45143 ***

Cool peter. Thanx for updating the bug.
This seems like a pretty serious bug to me... although I'm not sure how common it is to have URLs with commas... and then to have META refreshs pointing to those URLs.
