From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16 i686; en-US; 0.8.1) Gecko/20010326 BuildID: 2001041108 If you go to the URL, you will notice that the pic with the comic never loads. This is due to the fact, that creators.com requires a Referer: field pointing to their site to view the comic. I sniffed the traffic and noticed that the "Referer" field never gets sent. This happens with builds with new cache only (not 0.8.1), so I'm supposing it has something to do with it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to that URL. 2. 3. Actual Results: Picture is not seen, because the site sends "Unauthorized" when not finding a "Referer" field. Expected Results: Mozilla should send "Referer:" field when downloading images linked off a page.
