Steps to reproduce: Using build id #1999092408 and/or M9 on Win 98, try going to above URL. Results: The question mark at the end of the URL is stripped, resulting in an error 404. Expected: Successful load of url, returning html + images to client. Builds tested: viewer & apprunner on both 1999092408 and M9. Thoughts: Any chance that this is partly due to the cgi not ending with .cgi ? This isn't related to bug 14333, which looks fixed.

adding http:// to url.

This is an urlparser problem, should be assiged to gagan The problem is: the ? is found, but is not part of the url as it is stored in nsStdURL. The ? gets integrated into the url if there is a querypart beside the ?. Since here is none, the ? gets stripped in ReconstructPath. A solution would be to have all the delimiter chars like ;?# inside the URL components. This would also reduce the appends in ReconstructSpec/Path. See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11677

cc'ing gagan just for the fun I did another heavy rewrite of nsStdURL.cpp. It works now for me, but I have to test this further.

Gagan -- the URL parsing stuff is yours, right? Please send this back to me if I've misassigned it.

adding dep. and taking over.
