589995 - Account Manager should extract acct-mgr Link header despite multiple Link headers

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Lloyd Trevor Hilaiel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b3) Gecko/20100805 Firefox/4.0b3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b3) Gecko/20100805 Firefox/4.0b5

Nothing appears to specifically prevent multiple link headers from being returned from an HTTP request, and at present the Account Manager parsing code will not properly extract an authentication realm from an acct-mgr Link header when a request has multiple Link headers present.  For example, realm should be properly extracted when the following headers are present:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 00:22:18 GMT
Expires: -1
Cache-Control: private, max-age=0

Link: <http://site.com/meta/amcd.json>; rel="acct-mgmt"



Reproducible: Always

Not blocking on this, but would like to see a fix before 4.0 if possible.

We're changing direction and putting the previous Account Manager protocol on hold for a while. Closing these bugs to reflect reality.
