r=me but please add a test in media/ for this. In another bug I change the compositing test.

Rebased & should apply to ToT.

What's invalid about this URL? It seems perfectly valid, just missing on server.

That's the issue - even if nothing is there on the server no error event is fired.  The layout test in question tried to set src to "notarealsource", but no error event was ever fired in safari or in mac DRT

Actually the problem is not that the file doesn't exist, the problem is that the url has no MIME type or extension so MediaPlayer can't find a media engine to use. If it did have a type or extension and there was a media registered for the type, MediaPlayer would ask it to load the url and it would return an error when it figured out that the file didn't exist.

It would be helpful to have bug title and ChangeLog changed accordingly. We have enough trouble with actual invalid KURLs...
