I'm a newbie, so forgive me if I've got the wrong component (libfileurl). When loading a local directory, network/protocol/file/mkfile.c : net_read_directory_chunk( ) makes the following call: PL_strcpy(full_path, con_data->filename + 1) which effectively removes the leading '/' from the filename. This causes the subsequent PR_GetFileInfo to fail, and the directory reads as empty. The easy fix is to remove the + 1, which seems to work for me, but of course this may cause problems elsewhere.

Sorry, bugzilla didn't give me a chance to comment on the patch- It's motivated by the code in net_open_directory( ) which essentially handles the same problem. The fix works fine on my linux box, but I can't comment about other platforms.

Deffered till Necko lands...

Deferring till Necko lands...

Per DP's suggestion marking these till M8. Though Necko lands with M7, we will be able to verify it for M8.

I'm moving this to target M9, Necko will be enabled somewhere during late M8 or early M9. We will need to get on this and it cannot be postponed past the M9 milestone.

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. ;-)

Pl. verify with Necko.

this is a file:// problem, which doesn't seem to be working at all on unix. Loading any type of local directory on Linux just brings up a empty dialogue box. Same thing on windows, but the dialogue is not empty, it's the file download dialogue. I think Warren was working on this. Changing Component to Necko.

The original bug specified here is long gone, but it sounds like the new bug is that local directory listings aren't generated. Perhaps we should close this bug and file a new one specifically about that. I thought I recalled seeing one on that already though.

yes, you're right. 6936 is the almighty file:// URL's don't work bug. Marking this one a dup *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 6936 ***

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