STEPS: click on telnet URL

OBSERVED BEHAVIOR: Terminal.app launches, and shows what looks like a shell command attempt to telnet to the hostname. EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: This is broken in Linux and Mac OS X in Mozilla trunk&branch builds (bug 33282). I don't know why this is working, but I wanted to make a note of it.

The trunk problem is in bug 96217.

Did this just start working in 20020919?

That's my point, I think they added this in 10.2. I don't know how to look at the system-level URL database, otherwise I would :)

works for me on 10.2.2, chimera 0.6. the system's url database can be managed by internet explorer or by moreinternet (http://www.monkeyfood.com/software/). note that a security issue related to the telnet protocol and terminal has been resolved by the apple's Security Update 2002-09-20 (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120150).

So why is this a bug?

QA has a standard set of tests, when something unexpected happens, we file bugs. At the time I filed this, it wasn't clear why this was happening, and I was testing some Chimera milestone, so I filed the bug.
