Can you reproduce this?


(Red Hat linux, Mozilla/5.0 Gecko/20040124)

1) Open Mozilla and go to http://www.google.com
2) In the same url address bar, erase the full address and replace it with:
speeddate/ca and hit enter.
You should be taken to ca.com web site.
3) Now type in the same address bar:
speeddate/yahoo and hit enter.
You should be taken to the yahoo.com web site.
4) Now type in the same address bar:
speeddate/google and hit enter.
You should be taken to the google.com web site.

So it would seem that using site/site, mozilla will ignore the first part and go to the site after the /.

NOW try another word instead of speeddate. Try instead:

sponndude/yahoo
spocdud/yahoo
spatdodo/yahoo

For me, on all three I get a "page can not be displayed" popup dialog.

So now try:
google/yahoo

And it trys to take you to www.google.com/yahoo (404 page not found.)

Weird?

I don't get this. Which version of Mozilla are you using?
