From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0-test10 i686; Nav) BuildID: 2000110321 Some hyperlinks or URLs do not work correctly(?): A URL of the form: <A HREF="http:gertjan/">GertJan's index</A>, links to http://gertjan/ which is non-existant. Removing the "http:" part, this problem is solved. Netscape 4.75 works with these URLs, it inserts the "//"+hostname+"/" between "http:" and "gertjan/" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create html-file with <a href="http:<path-to-other-html-file">click here</a> 2.Browse to this html-file 3.click on the link. ;-) Actual Results: I get an errormessage saying: The requested URL could not be retrieved. Expected Results: I should have linked to http://hostname/gertjan/

I'm not sure this kind of URL is supposed to be supported, but I can confirm the fact that it doesn't work. If we don't plan on supporting this kind of URL, please mark WONTFIX.

URL for test case : http://guisset.tripod.com/test.html Fabian.

Here's another test case; click on the "* As a single large html file" link in the middle of the page. http://www.rubycentral.com/faq/index.html

Over to networking.

There is a long standing decision to not support this kind of deprecated relative urls. See bug 22251 for details. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 22251 ***

Verified dupe of wontfix bug 22251: "Relative URLs with scheme (e.g.,http:page.html) not loading - treated as absolute" See also similar wontfix bug 32966: "http:/ (one slash) treated as http:// rather than /"
