Using a file URL to view the contents of a directory other than / does not work. For example If I try to open file:/tmp or file:///tmp I see no files in the directory despite the fact that several exist. Other directories have the problem too, but looking at / does seem to work. From looking at strace output it seems that the problem is that apprunner is trying to stat the files in the directory using an incorrect relitive path rather than the absolute path. When this fails it assumes that the files are not really there: 172 196 /* 10 entries */, 3933) = 196 stat("tmp/.X0-lock", 0xbfffd464) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("tmp/jln", 0xbfffd464) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("tmp/look", 0xbfffd464) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("tmp/.X11-unix", 0xbfffd464) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("tmp/.font-unix", 0xbfffd464) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("tmp/nscomm40-lisa", 0xbfffd464) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("tmp/wpc-Bessie", 0xbfffd464) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("tmp/tksysv-backup", 0xbfffd464) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) lseek(13, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 1024

Same or similar problem happens on MacOS 8.6, Mozilla M6. Directories are not browseable.

Pushed past necko landing...

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 this with Necko builds. Should be fixed now. (If not pls. assign to warren)

file url's are not looking good. Something like file://c:/ should give a directory listing on windows at least, per 4.x behavior. I get a blank screen, however, on win95. Re-assigning to warren per gagzilla's instructions Note: you can open local files using the File - Open menu no problem

Tried on 1999070614 <mislabel build of 8/13/1999. To reproduce : 1. Run apprunner 2. Type File:// and hit enter Result : apprunner will display Unknow Contant windows. On the Apprunner console this will display regarding to this action : { DocLoaderFactory: Unable to create ContentViewer for command=view, content-type= (null) } note : But if you have valid HTML file it'll be happy to render it. surch as this one. file:///C|/MOZILLA/BIN/res/samples/test2.html file:///C|/MOZILLA/BIN/res/samples/test2.html

Chris has changes for this now.

this is in on all platforms, looking pretty snazzy! There are a few bugs, which will be filed separately, so marking this tracker bug verified.

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