Bug 26209 – REGRESSION: Redirect to custom protocol adds "localhost/" suffix

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WORKSFORME
• Component: Page Loading

[Jonas Walldén]

Starting with OS X 10.5.7 server redirects to custom URL protocols is broken. (C.f. bug 15774 for a possibly related problem that has since been fixed.)

I've configured my server to respond with the following reply:

  HTTP/1.1 302 Found
  Location: mailto:[e-mail]?subject=foo

which normally will bring up a mail with a subject of "foo". However, in current nightlies (tested with r44438) and Safari (5525.28.3 shipped with OS X 10.5.7) the mail subject is "foolocalhost/".

Please note that this concerns not only mailto: but custom URL protocols.

Capture from tcpdump:

GET /safari-redir/index.html HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:6060

I tried to reproduce this in a recent version of Safari and was not able to using essentially the same response as comment 0 suggests.
