DejaNews rewrites URLs in posts you view to be routed through one of their servers for whatever reason. Here's a sample transcript: $ telnet x5.dejanews.com 80 Trying 208.10.192.196... Connected to x5.dejanews.com. Escape character is '^]'. GET /jump/http://www.mozilla.org/ HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily Date: Sat, 08 May 1999 01:29:16 GMT Server: Apache/1.3b5 mod_perl/1.08 Location: http://www.mozilla.org/ Connection: close Content-Type: text/html <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>302 Moved Temporarily</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>Moved Temporarily</H1> The document has moved <A HREF="http://www.mozilla.org/">here</A>.<P> <P>Additionally, a 302 Moved Temporarily error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. </BODY></HTML> This redirection works in Nav 4.5 and Lynx 2.8.2, but fails in M5. The status bar says "Unable to locate host ." and the debug output shows "Error loading URL http://".

Pushed past necko landing...
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. ;-)
Summary: Links within DejaNews articles don't work → NECKO: Links within DejaNews articles don't work
Another redirect bug. If redirecting is working ok in Necko this should work fine. Pl. verify with Necko.
