When I press validate it loads for a while and then stops, but I'm not forwarded
to netscape.

James, what build of mozilla are you using?

Page in question contains the following:

<form METHOD="POST" ACTION="https:/cgi-bin/cgi-cwis/cwismain.cgi">

Whereas other browsers assume the hostname remains the same, Mozilla seems to
interpret this as https://cgi-bin/cgi-cwis/cwismain.cgi, can't find the host
"cgi-bin", and does a search for it instead.

I'm using win32, build 2001081003

Over to evangelism.  See bug 32966 for details of why such urls are invalid and
why we treat them as we do

This bug is not wontfix. Evangelism bugs are there so that we can contact 
sites and tell them how they can fix their problems.

All Evangelism Bugs are now in the Product Tech Evangelism. See bug 86997 for
