Details

When starting up off-line (i.e. no Net connection, including no DNS), Mozilla pops up a warning: "A network error occurred: unable to connect to server (TCP Error: XP_GetBuiltinString: 4420 not found) The server may be down or unreachable" However, it's then quite happy to surf a Web server running on the localhost. Looking at modules/rdf/src/ht.c and modules/rdf/src/rdfht.c, it would appear that Mozilla bizarrely attempts to access this URL by default whenever it starts: http://rdf.netscape.com/rdf/navcntr.rdf This isn't good if you're not connected to the Net at the time ! Surely a local copy of this should be used and perhaps update this local copy when you're next connected to the Net "live" (assuming you can tell if you're online vs. offline), so that when you're next offline, it'll have an up-to-date local copy of the RDF file to use.

Re-assign to rjc@netscape.com. Robert, is this still a problem with the new code base?
