93512 - URLs in page are sometimes corrupted

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 38488

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Richard Donkin]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: [submitted via IE5]
BuildID:    2001080110

Fairly frequently, pages from this site have corrupt URLs with 0.9.3.  I use 
this site a lot from IE5 and these bugs do not occur with IE, so it's not a 
website problem - also, the same bug did not occur with 0.9 or 0.9.2, retested 
today.  I first noticed this bug with build 2001071803.

The URLs corrupted are consistently those in the 'base href' and other 
instances of http://twiki.org/ on various pages on this site - never corrupts 
any other parts of the page, only the initial part of URLs.  Although this bug 
is intermittent, it always happens in the same way. Example of corrupted page 
is attached.

I also once had this page happen on the http://twiki.org/ page itself - this is 
a static page, no CGI involved, and gave me a corrupt URL of same pattern, 
involving 'sourceforge.net'.  


Bug is described further at http://twiki.org/cgi-
bin/view/Codev/UrlCorruptionWithMozilla

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Main/WebHome
2. Click on various internal links - e.g. Changes, Index, etc, or links in 
pages such as Changes - until an internal link fails
3. Inspect the URL - if it starts 'http://twiki.orghttp' the bug has occurred.

Happens every time I use this site with 0.9.3, but not always immediately, may 
take surfing to a few pages to bite.

Actual Results:  Link URL starts 'http://twiki.orghttp'

Expected Results:  Link URL starts 'http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/'

I see this as well; only been using mozilla (0.9.3) for an hour.  If I close and
reopen mozilla, then open www.google.com, then search for "mozilla themes" the
sixth item returned has the following URL:
http://x.themes.org/viewresources.phtml?type=chrome

...but when I click on the link mozilla sends me to:
http://www.google.com/viewresources.phtml?type=chrome
If I try different links I see similar behavior: the server is a page I've
recently viewed, with the path of the link I wanted tacked on.  It's _not_
always the page I'm viewing (i.e. www.google.com); sometimes the server name
falls further behind-- it's the server I was contacting several page views ago.

My problem was being caused by Junkbuster ( bug 38488 ).  Sorry.

This is a dupe of bug 38488 - I was also using Junkbuster, disabling HTTP/1.1
and keepalives worked for me.

SPAM. HTML Element component deprecated, changing component to Layout. See bug
88132 for details.
