726594 - No notification with libnotify and remote URL with 301 for image

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit Graveyard :: Notifications and Alerts, defect)

Description

[Cyril]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.1
Build ID: 20120213112313

Steps to reproduce:

With firefox 10.0.1 (Gentoo-)compiled with libnotify support, execute the following code in chrome JS (for example in Error Console) :

Components.classes['@mozilla.org/alerts-service;1']
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIAlertsService) .showAlertNotification("https://addons.mozilla.org/favicon.ico", "summary", "body");


Actual results:

No notification is shown, no error is raised. Nothing happens :(


Expected results:

A notification should be shown, at least without image.

The icon URL
https://addons.mozilla.org/favicon.ico
leads to (with HTTP 301 redirect)
https://static.addons.mozilla.org/favicon.ico

I tried the following, and it works :
Components.classes['@mozilla.org/alerts-service;1']
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIAlertsService)
.showAlertNotification("https://static.addons.mozilla.org/favicon.ico", "summary", "body");

Still seeing this in 12.04 on Ubuntu 12.04 with libnotify.

And it works fine with a non-redirected icon url:

Components.classes['@mozilla.org/alerts-service;1'] .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIAlertsService) .showAlertNotification("https://www.google.com.au/images/google_favicon_128.png", "summary", "body");

I'm sorry this sat untriaged for so long. If I run your first snippet in the Browser Console (in Nightly 50, with libnotify on GNOME), I'm able to see the icon from https://addons.mozilla.org/favicon.ico (though the redirect URL is now https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/favicon.ico).

Would you mind letting me know if it works for you on Gentoo now? Thanks, and apologies this slipped through the cracks.
