(This bug imported from BugSplat, Netscape's internal bugsystem. It was known there as bug #328983 http://scopus.netscape.com/bugsplat/show_bug.cgi?id=328983 Imported into Bugzilla on 03/26/99 17:35) Oct 12b nova win32 US build. When accssing the page, layout goes crazy. May be JS or forms problem.
Handing over to Nisheeth for evaluation.
This is not a regression from 4.06 so we are going to fix it in 5.0...
So, this page has the following META tag: <META HTTP_EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0: URL=http://foo"> The problem is that NET_ParseMimeHeaders() assumes that the CONTENT attribute will use a semicolon to separate the refresh interval from the url to jump to. Because the content attribute does not parse correctly, URL_S->refresh_url gets set to the currently loading URL. This results in the same page being loaded again and the META tag being laid out again, and we are in an infinite loop. It seems to me that for the case when the CONTENT type attribute does not find a URL to jump to, NET_ParseMimeHeaders() should allow layout of the current URL to continue rather than reloading the same URL again. Passing to Gagan for evaluation. Please note that this bug can be easily fixed by changing the meta tag's content attribute to '0; URL=http://foo'.
