79596 - URL Resolution and <applet codebase=".."

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect, P4)

Description

[Martin Thomson]

I can't post an url as this is an internal site here, but the URL field explains
it somewhat.

When at a site that uses CGI GET for an URL and a file generated by the CGI
program has an applet with codebase=".." the relative path is applied to the
directory mentioned in the GET fields.

e.g. for http://somesite.com/path/cgi-bin/blah.pl?page=dir1/dir2/file
with the tag: <applet codebase=".." code="applet.class"> ...

the classloader fails on
http://somesite.com/path/cgi-bin/blah.pl?page=dir1/applet/class.class

if this was at http://somesite.com/path/cgi-bin/blah.pl?page=dir1/file
(note only 1 directory in the final path) the classloader fails on
http://somesite.com/path/cgi-bin/applet/class.class

Mass-closing bugs in the "OJI" component: OJI plugin integration was replaced with npruntime long ago, and these bugs appear to be irrelevant now. If there is in fact a real bug that remains, please file it new in the "Core" product, component "Plug-ins".
