65474 - Problems resolving http:/

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 32966

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[David Goldstein]

<A Href="http:/~dlg/test.html">http:/~dlg/test.html</A> used to link to
http://where.com/~dlg/test.html but now returns an error... Seems to parse
the http:/directory/file Thing wrong.
<BR>
Instead it parses it as http://~dlg/test.html

Check it out at the afformentioned URL if you want to see it. I discovered this
while maintaining my application at http://haileris.com/cgi-bin/dict which has
existed using the http:/cgi-bin/dict? as url's for about...6 years...

As you know http:/ is invalid that should be http://
Time for a change after 6 years??
