76723 - images not shown on webpages becuase of missing referer on image request

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 74284

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Mozilla]

Mozilla doesn't show any images on the following sites. Both IE and NS shows the 
images just fine:
Warning! Sex sites!
http://members.bigfreehost.com/silvia/02/014.html
http://hardcore.pornbillboard.net/freepics1/1121/gal8.htm
http://www.pimpserver.com/hardcore/redlight/nikole/series.html
http://www.ftpfreehost.com/lohudra/15042/1.htm
http://hardsex.cmtgroup.com/intersexing.html

How can I debug/help? Is there a NSPR_LOG for imagelib that I can turn on?

Build 20010418

Comment 2

[Fabian Guisset]

probably a dup of bug 74313

Comment 3

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

74313 is very definitely X-only.  This bug is reported on Win2k...

Comment 4

[Terri Preston]

Changing status to [imglib]

Comment 5

[Henrik Gemal]

no images is really really bad, porn sites or not...

I'm not sure this helps but perhaps..:

0[346020]: nsComponentManager: 
ContractIDToClassID(@mozilla.org/streamconv;1?from=chunked&to=unchunked)->{95ca9
8d9-2a96-48d6-a014-0dffa84834a1}
0[346020]: nsComponentManager: 
CreateInstance({95ca98d9-2a96-48d6-a014-0dffa84834a1}) succeeded
0[346020]: nsComponentManager: 
ContractIDToClassID(@mozilla.org/image/decoder;2?type=text/html)->[FAILED]

After doing some research the missing pictures are due to the missing "referer" 
header sent when fetching the image.

I made a small html page that only contained a img tag. This resulted in the 
following access log:

With Mozilla:
fw-ost.inet.tele.dk - - [03/May/2001:10:59:03 +0200] "GET /test/1.html 
HTTP/1.1" 200 50 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 
rv:0.8.1+) Gecko/20010502"
fw-ost.inet.tele.dk - - [03/May/2001:10:59:04 +0200] "GET /test/img.jpg 
HTTP/1.1" 200 3702 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 
rv:0.8.1+) Gecko/20010502"

With Internet Explorer
fw-ost.inet.tele.dk - - [03/May/2001:10:59:30 +0200] "GET /test/1.html 
HTTP/1.1" 200 50 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)"
fw-ost.inet.tele.dk - - [03/May/2001:10:59:30 +0200] "GET /test/img.jpg 
HTTP/1.1" 200 3702 "http://gemal.dk/test/1.html" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 
5.5; Windows NT 5.0)"

----------------------

What's important here is the missing referer "http://gemal.dk/test/1.html" from 
the request to the image when using Mozilla. Some servers (apparently) most 
porn servers with only let the image get shown if the referer is from the same 
site, but I've also seen this on non-porn servers.
