91461 - Images served from http://static.userland.com fail to display

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Description

[Colin Brown]

The images fail to load when forming part of a HTML document and when the URL 
is entered into the location bar. Another example:

http://static.userland.com/weblogsCom/images/scripting2weblogscom/Header.jpg

This bug is always reproducable. It occurs in Mozilla 0.9.2 and in the most 
recent Nightly build, 2001071803.

I did wonder whether this is related to bug 33576, however I don't remember 
enabling any preference to block images from other sites, and I can't find the 
option in the preferences dialog.

WFM 0.9.2 Linux (and anecdotally on more recent trunk builds as well, as I read
Scripting News with some regularity and would have noticed this).

The preference you're referring to is under Privacy and Security > Images

However, even with Image blocking set to "originating server only", I can still
see the images if I load them directly.

I checked Privacy and Security > Images, and clicked View Image Permissions.
In the image manager, static.userland.com was listed, with status "site cannot 
load images". When I removed the site from the list it works fine.

I guess I must have inadventanlty blocked images from this server via the right 
click context menu. Perhaps there should be an "are you sure" confirmation 
dialog?

Anyhow, apologies, this is not a bug.

Ok, marking WFM.

Feel free to file an rfe on confirmation of image blocking (run a query on it
first, though).
