85762 - bearchive.com - The browser seems to have trouble parsing addventure cgi scripts

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P4)

Description

[Brian Williams]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.1+) Gecko/20010613
BuildID:    2001061304

If you click the "accept" button for episode creation, it should then go to:
http://208.185.176.78/cgi-addventure/newproc/addventure/
Mozilla instead attempts to go to http://cgi-addventure/newproc/addventure,
triggering a "no such domain: cgi-addventure" error from my junkbuster proxy. 
My friend who knows more about this sort of thing thinks that it's an error in
the URL parsing:
http:/dir/doc.html
should parse as 
protocol=http
server=not specified
path=/dir/doc.html

Instead, it's parsing as
protocol=http
server=dir
path=/doc.html

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
To reproduce, click "accept" from any episode creation screen in an addventure -
examples can be found at www3.bearchive.com/~addventure or
http://208.185.176.78/addventure/
A bit of searching may have to be done to find an episode availible for creation
- the one I've given in the URL section could be created anytime.

Sorry - the DSL connection went down on 208.185.176.78, and now I'm not sure
what's up with it.  Try http://www3.bearchive.com/~addventure to find episodes
to use to reproduce it.  Still broken in the latest nightly.

I am not sure where the Accept for episode creation is. Can you give me more
info on where it is located.

OBTW this crashed me when clicking on the enter Game link after the first try.

Updating URL and reopening.

You need to find an episode that hasn't been created - try here:
http://www3.bearchive.com/~addventure/game1/docs/015/15192.html
or here: http://www3.bearchive.com/~addventure/game1/docs/015/15193.html
or here: http://www3.bearchive.com/~addventure/game1/docs/015/15194.html
(these are what's known as orphan episodes, so any actual episodes created from
them won't interfere with whatever plot was occuring at the moment - perfect for
testing stuff.  A page asking whether you want to create the episode appears and
that's where the accept button is - these links should take you right to it.
As for the crash - odd, I've never had it crash on me, though I have been having
intermittant problems connecting to them today.

Mass reassign of all tech-evangelism us general bugs assigned to bc to 
doron except bc's P1 bugs. You may search for this mass reassign (it is 
305 bugs) by searching for the keyword 'greeneggsandham'

18 months later... http://www3.bearchive.com/ no longer exists.

bearchive.com is now a porn site, so I'm guessing the addventure stuff is gone.
