Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010628 Consider this HTML example: --------------------------- <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>The Chronicle: Career Network: Jobs</TITLE> <base href="http://jobs.chronicle.com/free/jobs/"> </HEAD> <BODY BACKGROUND="http:/icons/98/c/newacc_bg.jpg" BGCOLOR="FFFFFF" LINK=006699> <!-- ref URL http://jobs.chronicle.com/free/jobs/ --> <h2>hi mom</h2> <A HREF = "http://chronicle.com/index.htm"><FONT SIZE="-2" FACE="HELVETICA, ARIEL" COLOR="#FFFFFF">Front Page</FONT></A><BR> <h2>hi dad</h2> </BODY> </HTML> -------------------------------------- Notice the background isn't displayed. Now if you modify: <BODY BACKGROUND="http://jobs.chronicle.com/icons/98/c/newacc_bg.jpg" ... then the background appears. Note: the base tag in this example is not in the original URL, but just there so I could do testing from my filesystem. The problem is still there in the original URL without the base tag.
This is not a bug. http:/ with one slash is not a valid URL. See bug 32966, it's many duplicates and bug 22251 for more information.
