Details

This page crashes my Apr 20 nightly build (Win32) every time that the URL is entered without the trailing slash, like this: http://www.student.oulu.fi/%7esairwas/object-test With the trailing slash it works fine. Before the crash occurs, the page content is briefly displayed without the CSS formatting - I suspect that Mozilla is looking for the LINKed CSS file in the wrong place when the trailing slash is missing, and this is somehow causing the crash.

This doesn't crash for me, but it does fail to load the imported stylesheet.

Actually, NOTHING referenced by a relative ULR loads in this page if the trailing slash is left off (including images). It seems that the document's URL doesn't realize that it's a directory URL (like it automagically does in 4.X). Not sure if this is a problem in networking code or document URL handling.

Per DP's suggestion marking these till M8. Though Necko lands with M7, we will be able to verify it for M8.

Changing all Networking Library/Browser bugs to Networking-Core component for Browser. Occasionally, Bugzilla will burp and cause Verified bugs to reopen when I do this in a bulk change. If this happens, I will fix. ;-)
Bulk move of all Networking-Core (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking component.
