57965 - Can't go to AOL6 d/l page with NS6

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 50158

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

The links off the AOL homepage for downloading AOL6 don't work with ns6:

http://dynamic.aol.com/cgi/redir-complex?url=http://free.aol.com/tryaolfree/index.adp?139331&sid=i50

redirects to the AOL i18n page under ns6, goes to the AOL6 d/l page in IE5.

This is pretty bad.

Why does this redirect, I wonder.  Gagan, any update to this?  If you are not
the right person, pls reassign.

Well, the URL you give works for me in latest Mozilla trunk build.  But when I 
click the "Try AOL 6.0 With Our Best Offer Yet -- Up To 700 Hours FREE In A 
Month!  Sign Up NOW!" link at the top of aol.com, which links to 
http://dynamic.aol.com/cgi/redir-complex?
url=http://free.aol.com/tryaolfree/index.adp?11, I just get a blank page (and 
it's done loading).

The source of that page, however, might provide some insight about why it goes 
to the AOL i18n page.  More specifically, take a look at:

 if (java.util.Locale.getDefault().getCountry() == "US")

		if ((navigator.language == "en") || (navigator.language == "en-
US"))
	
	window.location.href= "https://free.aol.com/tryaolfree/wr25_1/mem_info.a
dp?wr_promo=167041&session_id=1424621";
		else
		window.location.replace("http://free.aol.com/tryaol/global");
	else
	window.location.replace("http://free.aol.com/tryaol/global");

Gagan, the PDT is pretty interested in resolving this bug.  Do you have any 
updates to put in here yet?

from blake's comment, this seems like a dom or l10n issue. Are they checking
for language support incorrectly or does mozilla have a problem? cc'ing
Vidur and Tao.

This looks like http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50158. Please see my
comments there. Also, refer to bugscape 3017.

This does indeed look like bug 50158...marking dup.

Verified, this is a duplicate of bug 50158 "clicking on AOL page/links gives
asserts, then goes to wrong page."
