Description greg 2001-11-04 01:30:59 UTC 
Typing ftp://ftp.redhat.%63om/pub into "Go To:" text box results in the
following error.

Couldn't display "ftp://ftp.redhat.%63om/pub", because no host
"ftp.redhat.%63om" could be found.  Check that the spelling is correct and
that your proxy settings are correct.

Using "ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pu%62", however, works.

I have also tried a username with an "@" in the URL, replacing the @ with
"%40".  This didn't work either.  It seems only the url-path is decoded,
but not the the host, username, or password(?).

The RFC seems to imply this should work and these URLs do work with lynx.
Comment 1 Darin Adler 2001-11-04 02:10:20 UTC 
This is almost certainly a gnome-vfs bug.
Comment 2 John Fleck 2002-01-05 04:15:01 UTC 
Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.
Comment 3 Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2002-05-12 11:57:52 UTC 
Re-assigning to gnome-vfs module.
Comment 4 Christophe Fergeau 2003-07-18 12:52:42 UTC 
Mass resetting target milestone to clean up gnome-vfs milestones. Please
complain if I removed a milestone which should have been kept. Sorry for the spam
Comment 5 Bugzilla Maintainers 2004-04-01 23:44:57 UTC 
The URL field has been removed from bugzilla.gnome.org. This URL was in the old URL field, and is being added as a comment so that the data is not lost. Please email bugmaster@gnome.org if you have any questions.

URL: 
ftp://ftp.redhat.%63om/pub
