If you go to: http://www.greetkingcards.com/8pickup.html and press "Pickup Card >>" you're send to http://search.netscape.com. This should never be the case! Expected: Either a 404 error or something like that! Not a weird search page.

if internet keywords are disabled, I'm not sent to Netscape search, I get a www.<lots of numbers>.com not found error.

I still think it's *very* wrong to redirect a form submission to a external search! External search should only work when the user type words into the Location field and pressing Go/Enter...

this looks like a problem with the website, not Mozilla, although I agree that internet keywords shouldn't be used from links. Perhaps a change of summary to "Internet keywords should not be used to resolve relative links"?

This is probably a duplicate of bug 34943, although I don't see the Internet Keywords feature (or search.netscape.com) mentioned there.

Clicking on links doesn't sound like a search problem, sounds deeper, like in necko. Although I don't think it's an exact dup of 34943 at quick glance, it's probably very similar if not an outright dup. Reassigning to gagan.

internet keywords is in webshell->rpotts. Rick it seems like to your list of conditions on when the internet keywords kick in you might want to add this -- (3) the URL is from the location bar around http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/docshell/base/nsWebShell.cpp#1026

this could be a potential privacy/security issue too. And so am nominating for beta

The URL stated here does not work for me, but I assume that bug's what is also mentioned in bug 34943 recently (though I think it does belong here but not there): ------- Additional Comments From Marcello Nuccio 2001-03-12 10:39 ------- A link like http:/cgi-bin/man2html?locate+1l (note the single '/' after 'http:') should be interpreted as relative to the hostname in the URL of the page. Example: I'm reading http://localhost/cgi-bin/man2html/usr/share/man/man1/xargs.1.gz and I click on the link above; Navigator4.76, lynx and w3m load http://localhost/cgi-bin/man2html?locate+1l, Mozilla (Build ID: 2001031005; Linux) loads http://www.cgi-bin.com/man2html?locate+1l if internet keywords are disabled, and http://search.netscape.com/cgi-bin/search?charset=UTF-8&search=cgi-bin if internet key are enabled. With this bug, man2html it's unusable with Mozilla, because it generates only reltive links! ------- Additional Comments From Andreas Otte 2001-03-15 12:11 ------- This kind of relative urls is deprecated with rfc2396 and we decided to no longer support it. ----- If Andreas' comment is right, then the problem I had today with a HTML-based DNS Adminstration is a WONTFIX :(

Does this still happen, the original link is busted.

qa to me.

+qawanted - need testcase and figure out if this needs to be fixed.
