Tested with today's build of Viewer on the Mac (but it's likely to be an XP problem). I inadvertently typed "hom" (without "e") in the URL field. A connection was made to "www.hom.com" which is redirected to "http://www.handtech.com/tcweb/bruce". The first time a connection is made to that URL (http://www.handtech.com/tcweb/ bruce), we get several trace messages from mkstream.c, line #250, saying "Alert! did not find a converter or decoder". I'm opening a bug report because a comment says "VERY VERY BAD!" in the case where a converter can't be found. Assigned to 'ebina' who worked on that code about 2 or 3 weeks ago.

This isn't a bug in that nothing is broken with the browser. My change just made a condition that used to return silently now return with an Alert. However, I am curious why the image converter sometimes returns NULL, so I will leave this open until I find out.

Marking Verified/Won't Fix.

Changing all Networking Library/Browser bugs to Networking-Core component for Browser. Occasionally, Bugzilla will burp and cause Verified bugs to reopen when I do this in a bulk change. If this happens, I will fix. ;-)

Bulk move of all Networking-Core (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking component.
