User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210 I just noticed that Camino 0.7 shares this unresolved bug with mozilla 1.3b http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194476 Basically, if you start up Camino when not connected to the network, lookups for NetInfo based machine names fail. This doesn't occur with IE, Safari, or Chimera 0.6, but it does with Mozilla 1.3b and Camino 0.7. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Copied from the mozilla bug: There is a short article here about how to setup machine names in OSX under NetInfo. It is basically the MacOS way to use a hosts file. <http://www.evolt.org/article/comment/18/13138/> Here's a more command line sort of way (you must be root or use sudo): niutil -create / machines/fly.ing.quetzal niutil -createprop / machines/fly.ing.quetzal ip_address 127.0.0.1 niutil -createprop / machines/fly.ing.quetzal serves ./local Now setup an apache host: vi /etc/httpd/httpd.conf In apache, you need to uncomment the NameVirtualHost directive and set to 127.0.0.1: NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1 Then setup a vhost as so: <VirtualHost fly.ing.quetzal> ServerAdmin paul@burney.ws ServerName fly.ing.quetzal DocumentRoot /web/quetzal </VirtualHost> (Making sure that DocumentRoot points to a real location) Restart apache: apachectl configtest apachectl restart Point a browser to the location: http://fly.ing.quetzal/ lynx fly.ing.quetzal And you should see the directory contents/index page of that directory. I remember that in previous versions of OSX, you had to manually setup an /etc/lookupd/hosts file and then populate it for netinfo to work correctly with local machine names. Mine looks like this: LookupOrder = Cache FF NI DNS NIL ValidateCache = NO When I do an `nslookup` for the fake domain on the command line `nslookup fly.ing.quetzal`, it fails, but browsers pick it up just fine. When not connected to the network, other browsers still find it just fine, except Mozilla 1.3b/1.4a (1.2.1 worked, if I recall correctly). Hope that helps. Actual Results: No connection to locally served web sites Expected Results: talked to netinfo and sent the request to localhost with the correct host name. I was hoping someone on the Camino team would be more familiar with DNS resolution on Mac OS X and would be able to help the Mozilla guys out with this issue. It really affects me because I use Camino and Moz for local web programming and development. If I'm on a train and Camino crashes, I need to switch to Safari or IE (yuch!)

this is a dupe of bug 194476. theres no need to file an extra bug on the Camino product. (same folks usually get around to both) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 194476 ***
