68977 - using <form action="https:/cgi-bin/...."> fails

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 93569

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[ratman]

i could only find the url above, which, here at northwestern, is more in the
severity range of critical to blocker.

i am presuming that this isn't an evangelism issue, since it works fine on both
nav 4.xx and that other browser (which is what everybody's using now anyway). 
but i couldn't find anything like it in bugzilla.  the w3 validator amazingly
let it through.

anyone?

The page uses:  
<form METHOD="POST" ACTION="https:/cgi-bin/nph-check-mail">

This is a duplicate of bug 32966 which is marked WONTFIX.

As in, yes it's evangelism unless you just want to mark it duplicate.  The url
in question is invalid and mozilla takes a different guess as to what the author
meant than the other browsers do...

[ratman]

sorry for the typo - i didn't even notice that.

so, technically, is the use of a single "/" in form posts a violation of w3, or
is this just mozilla's unique take on the issue?

See the comments on bug 32966, but the short of it is that those URLs are not
valid according to the RFC on urls (RFC 2396).  Nothing to do with W3C -- RFC's
are IETF's thing.

Verifying duplicate.

bc's evang tool found this bug when i put in the url for bug 93569.  Marking
this as a dupe of 93569 because it is assigned.  Same exact URL.
