WFM. win98, RC3 - 2002052306

*** Bug 149338 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Another gopher 'page': gopher://gopher.well.sf.ca.us/00/cyberpunk/cultjam.txt This page displays, but never stops loading (the text never changes from 'Sending request to gopher.well.sf.ca.us'). Works in IE 6.0.2600.0000 and WSGopher32 2.0.

Hmm. Sometimes the page just comes up blank when I open a new window, paste in the URL and try again. Alyways works in IE and WSGopher32. I should mention that I am using Mozilla 1.0 (2002053012) on Windows 2000. Sorry about the two emails in a row.

WFM 1.1 alpha, Windows 98. Reporter, can you reproduce this with a new profile?

Downloaded 1.2a, created a new Mozilla profile, on Win2K. Problem still persists. "Stop" button won't stop the throbber, but I can type in a "http://" url and the next page will load. I have also tested this under MacOS X 10.2 with Mozilla 1.2a and the page loads without any problems. This almost appeaprs to be a Win2K specific issue. Can anyone else confirm this? Maybe the gopher code has incompatibilities with the Win2K network implementation?

-> bradley, when you get the time that is :-)

Someone filed (in the last week or so) a bug against gopher not working and included a 'patch'. The patch is wrong, but it points to what broke this. Don't have hte bug # off hand, but there aren't that many gopher bugs. :)

VERIFIED/dupe

fixed URL, reopen, wfm, mozilla 1.2.1 The problem in #3 is actually the a dupe of bug 177060, but the original bug is not.

What I see now is that the load completes, but the tranfer status never updates from "transfering". This happens if you click the link -or- open as new window. This does not happen, for some reason, if you open as new tab in the background.

Same problem with Mozilla 1.2 for BeOS. Please change OS to All. Oddly enough, the root page of Gopher sites sometimes (very rarely) does open, but the internal links never do. This behavior is shared with Mozilla 1.2.1 and Phoenix 0.4 on Windows. A work-around that I mentioned in Bug 184180 is to use a Proxy server: File>>Prefs>>Advanced>>Proxies>>Gopher Proxy: host005.answer.co.jp Port:80 Prog.

PC/All.

Revisting the links with Mozilla 1.4rc1 these pages now load fine. I recommend QAing this issue and closing it.

RESOLVED/WFM: Mach-O, Win98, Linux. ajmas: can you verify?

Will switch to resolved wfm.

Resolving as WFM.

Just to confirm I have tested this with MacOS X and Windows 2000 SP2 and it works. I am not in a position to verify Linux or Windows 98.

I can confirm it works on Windows 98.
