Ran into a PR_ASSERT when I clicked on a news link. Cause: ------ /* get a handle to a protocol implemenation */ NET_ProtoImpl * net_get_protocol_impl(int for_url_type) { int count=0; /* if we ever get around to doing dynamic protocol loading * this would be a good place to plug it in. * just load a DLL with the implementation and * return the handle. * The integer URL_TYPE would need to be replaced with * strings or some other identifier so that it can all be * handled dynamically */ for(; count < net_number_of_proto_impls; count++) { if(net_proto_impls[count].url_type == for_url_type) return net_proto_impls[count].impl; } /* >> */ PR_ASSERT(0); /* should always find one */ return NULL; } I hit the above assert line. I'm guessing this is hit because the news client isn't available, right? It'd be nice if instead of asserting, a dialog to this effect popped up. System: ------- I'm running WinNT4.0 SR3, on a 166MHz Dell Pentium with 64MB RAM and 200MB swap. In addition to WinNT processes and mozilla, I am running cdplayer.exe, MSACCESS, TASKMGR, MSDEV, CRT, PowerPoint, Netscape 4.06, and a notepad-like editor.

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

I'm moving this to target M9, Necko will be enabled somewhere during late M8 or early M9. We will need to get on this and it cannot be postponed past the M9 milestone.
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. ;-)

seems to just ignore it now - is this acceptable? I'm not sure what the immediate plan is here. Anyone?

eventually, this should do what 4.x did: news://host/article should bring up the article in a browser window. news://host/group should open up messenger, and autosubscribe you to group at the news server host. none of this works yet, though. these should be two seperate bugs, (one for host/group, one for host/article) and logged against me. I'll log these now.
