94840 - Cannot access local devices that use IP addresses to configure

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 83465

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[daniel seyb]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    2001080104

I have networking boxes (a gateway and a switch) that use reserved IP addresses
for configuration and status checks.  Mozilla seems to treat the IP address as a
file name, i think.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Not to be an ****, but:

1.clear URL text widget
2.type: http://10.5.1.2
3.Hit enter 

Actual Results:  Get a popup window with title "Downloading null", and a first
few  lines of:

You have chosen to download a file of type: "#1" [#2] from #3

What should Mozilla do with this file.

and then some radio buttons.  Cut & paste does not work on that window, so i
cannot guarantee the text is exact.

Expected Results:  Give my access to the gateway setup.

Same as bug 83465 - "response with empty content-type opens helper dialog
(telocity dsl modem/router)"

Read the comments on that bug for more information.
