662184 - Fragment identifier not implemented correctly "for" data uris

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[Emil Langrock]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20110310 Firefox/4.0 Iceweasel/4.0
Build Identifier: 

First thing: I know about #243917 and the bugs which marked there as duplicate. The problem is that the argumentation is wrong. Here the interesting comment which was completely ignored till now:

Per RFC 3986, Fragment ID should work regardless of the scheme.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.5
> Fragment identifier semantics are independent of the
> URI scheme and thus cannot be redefined by scheme specifications.

So it is wrong to argument with "data: is not an nsIURL in Mozilla". This is maybe a show blocker in the current implementation, but not a reason that it should not be fixed.

Reproducible: Always

This has been changed for Firefox 6.0a2 by bug 308590 and bug 658949.

data:text/html,<style type="text/css"> h1:target {color:red}</style><h1 id="a">A</h1><h1 id="b">B</h1>#b
WFM Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.0; rv:7.0a1) Gecko/20110605 Firefox/7.0a1

[bug 243917 comment #10 is no longer correct as the fragment is now available to an nsIURI]

Marking WORKSFORME as it is not clear which to mark as duplicate.
