Bug 8142 – fast/block/float/014.html test should not require live internet connection

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Sam Weinig]

The layout tests fast/block/float/014.html and fast/loader/docLoaderFrame.html fail if your computer is not connected to the internet because they use external resources.  This seems like a bad idea because it is both slower than using local resources and will not work if the external sources go down or change.  If either really need http for some reason, mitz suggested moving it to use local httpd.

patch for fast/block/float/014.html

This fixes only one of the two problem files and requires adding a new folder (resources) and the image as well as the simple fix.  

The test fast/loader/docLoaderFrame.html requires moving it to the http folder and changing it to work there, neither of which I know how to do.

This bug is a duplicate of bug 4508, but since it has a patch attached, lets land the patch and close this.

I decided to retitle this to be just about the one test. We'll use bug 4508 as the "master bug" for resolving this issue across all the tests.
