78216 - after libpr0n javascript on sites "fails".

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 74284

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Stephen Smoogen]

Hope that this is the javascript module. After the libpr0n landed around 0.8 I
found that certain web sites would show either "blank" pages or the wrong
images. I thought this was the infamous libpr0n corruption, but on observing
closer it seems that the pages all had javascript also involved. The last good
build I have is around 20010322 or so.

I have not confirmed on windows or mac build yet.

Confirming bug on WinNT (2001042704). OS --> All.
The problem seems be this: Mozilla is not permitted by these websites
to show the following .gifs. Here are the .gifs, and the messages that
are rendered in Mozilla when you try to load them. NN4.7 loads them fine.

Let me amend the above slightly: in the case of

           http://www.creators.com/images/6/20010423.gif

you also get "Unauthorized" in NN4.7 if you try to bring it up alone.
But go to the parent site http://www.creators.com/comics/lib/ and do 
View | Page Info. Locate the above gif in the list, and click on it. 

In NN4.7, you see the gif rendered in the lower pane of Page Info.
In Moz, you get "Unauthorized".

This is not a JS Engine issue. Reassigning to Browser-General component
for further triage. Not sure if its a legitimate ImageLib bug or not. 
Is it possible that the sites are doing something server-side to decide
whether or not to serve up the .gif?
