From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020717 Netscape/7.0 BuildID: 7-17-trunk Line-ended links in source will include current page in their link. In source like this: <a HREF="htt p://www.oneworldalliance.com/">, the link somehow gets parsed as including the current document (so, hosted on sedonner.tripod.com, it gets, 'http://sedonner.tripod.com/http://www.oneworldalliance.com/', instead of the expected 'http://www.oneworldalliance.com'. BTW, this isn't my own freaky testcase - I found this on http://www.aa.com, all over the place. Look at their footer, bottom of the page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load http://sedonner.tripod.com/aatest.html 2. Mouseover or click on the OneWorld image. 3. Actual Results: The URL gets parsed as being: 'http://sedonner.tripod.com/http://www.oneworldalliance.com/' Expected Results: The URL should be as stated in the source: '<a HREF="http://www.oneworldalliance.com/">'

Spaces are significant in HTML CDATA attributes (such as href), so this is techevang for www.aa.com eventually. I'll hand this to the networking people first, to figure out why the URL gets parsed that way...it looks like it's being interpreted as a relative URL, but I don't know why the whole thing (including leading htt) would get reassembled.

I should note that every other browser except us parses this correctly (not that I'm defending this shoddy HTML).
