69339 - When access to an image is denied by server, browser denies access to the page

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i686; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010129
BuildID:    2001012906

A web page has an image that is denied by server configuration.
The web page itself is allowed by server configuration.
Mozilla displays an 'Access Denied' message.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a page "test.html" with an image on it "test.gif"
Put the image in a different directory
Put a .htaccess "deny from all" in that directory.
Browse to the page "test.html"

Actual Results:  Mozilla shows the 'Access Denied' message as if i've tried to
see 'test.gif'

Expected Results:  Will have to show the page, and present a "broken image"
indicator in the image, or no image at all.

The message 'Access Denied' will be cryptic even to a webmaster. I was very
confused because every browser can show the page except mozilla.

It is very similar to a bug in Internet Explorer with a liked stylesheet. If the
stylesheet doesn't exist, IE shows the 'Page not found' message corresponding to
the stylesheet, and should show the page with the default formatting.

Works for me with Mozilla 0.8 on NT4.  I get what I'd expect: the image is
replaced by the alt text, if present.

The Mozilla build you're using is a few weeks old already. Please try again
with a newer build (or Mozilla 0.8) and report back. Thanks for testing!

This bug is a "futured" or "untargeted" bug which has been "resolved/works for
me". Most bugs meeting this criteria are usually somewhat out of date or working
in the current builds.

If this bug is not happening for you in a recent build (such as the Mozilla
daily build, Mozilla 0.9.3, or Netscape 6.1), please use the friendly "Mark bugs
as VERIFIED" radio button to set this bug to "VERIFIED/WORKS FOR ME"
If you reported the bug on a platform (e.g. Linux) and other contributors
reported on another platform (e.g. Mac OS), please comment that it works for you
 but do not verify it yet.

For these multi-platform bug reports, we need to verify all reported platforms
-OR- create new "still broken on platform X" bugs when you verify.
