16836 2008-01-10 23:09:45 -0800 JS navigation to host-less HTTP URL (http:/path/to/file) generates error 2008-01-11 01:02:40 -0800 1 1 1 Unclassified WebKit New Bugs 528+ (Nightly build) Mac OS X 10.4 NEW InRadar P2 Normal --- 1 liamdav webkit-unassigned mrowe oldest_to_newest 66882 0 liamdav 2008-01-10 23:09:45 -0800 When the "General Inquests" link is selected within the url: "http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lawlink/coroners_court/ll_coroners.nsf/pages/coroners_information" the script called by this link (OpenAttachmentWithFullPath) generates: "http://lawlink/Coroners_Court/ll_coroners.nsf/vwFiles/InquestFAQs.doc/$file/InquestFAQs.doc" which should be: "http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lawlink/Coroners_Court/ll_coroners.nsf/vwFiles/InquestFAQs.doc/$file/InquestFAQs.doc" ie the results, if any, of the script are not included. 66884 1 mrowe 2008-01-11 00:59:26 -0800 I think the URL is being generated correctly. The target of the link is: javascript:OpenAttachmentWithFullPath('/lawlink/Coroners_Court/ll_coroners.nsf/vwFiles/InquestFAQs.doc/$file/InquestFAQs.doc') The function is defined as follows: function OpenAttachmentWithFullPath ( filePath ) { window.open ( "http:" + filePath ); } // end of function This results in http:/lawlink/Coroners_Court/ll_coroners.nsf/vwFiles/InquestFAQs.doc/$file/InquestFAQs.doc being loaded. Another method of reproducing this bug is to go to http://webkit.org/blog/ and enter: javascript:window.location = 'http:/' in the address bar and press enter. In Safari this generates an error saying: Safari can’t open the page “http:/” because it’s an invalid address. In Firefox this loads http://webkit.org/. What is interesting is that Firefox gives a similar error to Safari if you enter "http:/" in the address bar. I wonder what specifies the behaviour of a http:/path/to/file URL? 66885 2 mrowe 2008-01-11 01:00:24 -0800 I can reproduce this with Safari 3.0.4 on Mac OS X 10.5.x. 66886 3 mrowe 2008-01-11 01:01:23 -0800 A simple workaround for the website is to change OpenAttachmentWithFullPath to omit the leading http:. I've never seen http:/path/to/file-style URLs used in the wild before. 66887 4 mrowe 2008-01-11 01:02:40 -0800 <rdar://problem/5683164>
