Bug 9165 – REGRESSION: Expedia.com fails to work with ToT WebKit (version sniffing)

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: DOM

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open URL:  http://www.expedia.com/
2. Select "Car" radio button under the "Plan Your Trip" box in the upper left-hand side of the screen.
3. Enter "BOS" as the "Pick-up location".
4. Enter valid dates for the "Pick-up" and "Drop-off".
5. Click "Search for cars" link.

Expected Results:

A list of available cars should be displayed.

Actual Results:

Results are displayed, but all the data that should populate the results table is missing.

Regression:

Works fine on Safari 2.0.3 (417.9.3) on Mac OS X 10.4 (8I127) (PowerPC).

Does not work with locally-built WebKit r14619 on Mac OS X 10.4 (8I127) (PowerPC).

Notes:

It appears that Expedia.com special-cases Safari when it outputs the page, but this special-case doesn't work for ToT WebKit due to improper browser sniffing.

This bug could probably be fixed by fixing Bug 5312, or by evangelism with Expedia.com to properly identify WebKit nightly builds.

See also Bug 9077, which was originally filed as a platform-specific bug for the S60 platform.

The bug is not reproducing for me.  I'm using nightly r14740.

This bug was most likely due to Bug 9103.  If nightlies before r14667 reproduce the bug, then that was the cause and this bug can be marked a duplicate of it.

I will test this tonight unless someone beats me to it.

Confirmed that WebKit-SVN-r14663.dmg exhibits the bug, while WebKit-SVN-r14671.dmg fixes the bug.  Resolving as duplicate of Bug 9103.
