this is one of the top sites --i'm able to load it on 4.7, but not on mozilla on
either linux or winNT (2000.04.26.09, opt comm). not sure which component this
should go in, so feel free to redirect as needed.
1. in the Location textfield, enter the above url
2. hit Enter key.
result: watch the throbber throb and throb and throb...no page loads --or might
partially draw, then go blank ultimately. got the following console info from
linux (but, no, it didn't load at all):
Error loading URL http://my.netscape.com/

I note that no content is currently returned from the above URL
(testing with libwww-perl GET). Who is a netcenter contact who can
elaborate on this?

confirmed on win98 2000042608. Page loads to the "My Netscape" header and
doesn't get past that point, but I can sometimes get the portfolio to load as
well.
This appeared at the top of the page while loading: <620) "WIDTH=620";};
WIDTH=96% ID="header">

cc'ing johng only because he tends to know who to bug at netcenter. Johng, little help here please?
Comment 6•25 years ago

The URL my.netscape.com serves HTML content which includes:
<NOLAYER><META http-equiv="refresh" ...></NOLAYER>
which should kick mozilla off to the alternate content location ASAP.
The content from my.netscape.com should be almost immediately torn down
and replaced by new content (i.e., my.netscape.com is full of Nav4'isms
that mozilla will not handle, so let's not focus on those).
The problem is that the redirect page is (as far as i can tell) dead.
Need someone from netcenter to confirm/correct (in my opinion).

confirm that it also occurs on Mac moz, 2000.04.26.11.

This worksforme unless I'm missing something here. Tested with 042608 build
under NT. Sounds like not a Mozilla bug?
Comment 9•25 years ago

I'm going to attach a screenshot to prove that _currently_ mozilla gets
a blank page. While loading, the content window is black, but finally it
get's drawn grey. Shell output is:

Well, there's some content there now (20000428) but it's very broken.
I get to:
http://my.netscape.com/template2.tmpl?set:user/nss/templates/nav4=template2.tmpl
I'm going to mail this bug URL to someone at Netcenter :-)

Still seeing this on linux build on 5/3. Can't run the pre-checkin tests since
my.netscape.com is part of them. Adding dogfood keyword since bug 37267 was
already marked [dogfood+].

I got the runaround from NetCenter support (I should start a canned-response
collection) but it seemed OK a couple of days ago so I gave up. It still seems
OK in 2000050111 under W95. It was definitely their problem. Akkana - are you
still seeing this?

Jan, since this is a Netcenter problem, is there a specific person[s] over there
we could speak with to get this fixed? not too cool that their essentially
ignoring us (eg, Gerv's attempts to communicate w/'em). thx!

Putting on dogfood+. michaell and ekrock...can we get some help here. Folks
seem to thing it is on Netcenter side. rickg, your thoughts? commercial builds

This possibly a dupe of 24774 ( have nominated for beta2 ).
Comment 19•25 years ago

I think I've a fix for 24774 but that did not fix this bug. So, they are no
dupes.

This looks like a threading bug in netlib (per the stack info in VC++). Off to

Problem loading the URL (
http://my.netscape.com/template2.tmpl?set:user/nss/templates/nav4=template2.tmpl
) kicked in by the META (refersh attribute) inside NOLAYER.
NOTE: Since we don't support LAYER...the NOLAYER content kicks in.

Comment 22•25 years ago

this seems like a problem with netcenter. Since the last page returns with a
Content-Length of zero! ... and hence the blank page.

Gagan: I'm not sure how quickly they acted, but the problem has changed
slightly. I still cannot get a working page, but it may be a necko issue now.
Here's what happens:
1) enter http://my.netscape.com/
2) browser acts on the META element inside a NOLAYER element (which it should)
and goes to
http://my.netscape.com/template2.tmpl?set:user/nss/templates/nav4=template2.tmpl
3) whereas this page used to return nothing at all, today I can see that it
returns the following headers (using a hacked version of GET from
libwww-perl; this version sends a user-agent string that matches current
mozilla build's user-agent).
[jrgm@jrgm ~]$ mozget -s -S -e -d
http://my.netscape.com/template2.tmpl\?set:user/nss/templates/nav4=template2.tmp
l
GET
http://my.netscape.com/template2.tmpl?set:user/nss/templates/nav4=template2.tmpl
--> 200 OK
Cache-Control: no-cache
Connection: close
Date: Thu, 18 May 2000 20:16:36 GMT
Pragma: no-cache
Location: /template2.tmpl?r
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/4.1
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/html
Expires: 0
Client-Date: Thu, 18 May 2000 20:16:37 GMT
Client-Peer: 207.200.89.40:80
[jrgm@jrgm ~]$
So, it is now getting a "Location: ..." header. However, the browser does not
follow this redirect.
If I enter http://my.netscape.com/template2.tmpl?r into the urlbar and hit
enter, I load a workable version of my.netscape.com which uses positioned DIV
instead of LAYER (i.e., it's redesigned for w3c dom and mozilla).

if I go to http://my.netscape.com/template2.tmpl?set:user/nss/templates/nav4=
template2.tmpl with ns 4.72, it redirects again and works. so, could be a
mozilla bug perhaps?

Tested with Build # 2000052208 on Windows 98 SE
Clicked on link http://my,netscape.com Page loaded as expected.
Was using profile migrated from NN 4.72.
Reloaded Mozilla with default profile.
Clicked on link, Page would NOT load completly.
Coppied cookies.txt from migrated profile to default profile, reloaded Mozilla
with default profile.
Clicked on link page loaded as expected.
Comment 34•24 years ago

So, with a migrated/copied cookies.txt, you get a different set of redirects
(i.e., to a custom page). So the problem here is for loading the default
my.netscape.com page. I believe it is failing to pick up the final redirect,
which comes from a Location: header returned from
http://my.netscape.com/template2.tmpl?set:user/nss/templates/nav4=template2.tmp
l
and should go to
http://my.netscape.com/template2.tmpl?r

Comment 35•24 years ago

http://my.netscape.com/template2.tmp1?set:user/nss/tempplates/nav4=
template2.tmpl looks like a good redirect for NN 4.x , But Mozilla IDs itself as
5.0. The redirect could be failing because its testing Moz as nav5.

We need some updates on this dogfood bug.
Can you put some updated status on this in the status whiteboard (hopeful fix
date?) or can we get other folks involved in this bug? Not only is this
dogfood, it really looks bad in a demo outside... so we really would like to fix
for this RSN.
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Works for me, as of build 2000.05.31.08, on Linux. Some recent change somewhere
has nullified this bug?
Comment 40•24 years ago
|
||
on win98, 2000053108, mozilla build, it seems to load up to the big "My
Netscape" and the "Help and signup" icons, but will then load the .tmpl file,
and will hang. The browser is usless unless I go back/forward or enter a new url.

On a 2000060108 build, I just see a blank page. If I hit reload, the throbber
spins for a long time and I see a blank page. It's redirecting to: http:

bug 32049 seems to be related to this bug, and has a proposed fix. Suggest it be

I agree, this bug depends on 32049 or even possibly is a dupe of that bug.

Tested with Build 2000060508 on Win 98 SE
Now that view source is working I wanted to have another look at this. Symptom
has changed. Starts out the same, but now after about 5 seconds page goes blank.
Page source shows tags for a blank page. A redirect is happening but it's taking
a lot longer than it should. The lag isn't my connection (ADSL tested at 1.2M)
I also retested bug 32049 . Symptoms are identical.
I am now sure this bug is a duplicate of bug 32049
Comment 51•24 years ago

With 2000060812 on linux -- starting with no prior profile/cookies -- this
page now loads. Netcenter has changed their content to not use <LAYER>s and
no longer attempts this redirect. jeziorek@netscape.com -- is this working
in the mac and win32 smoketest builds today?
