Abstract:
This document provides general network functional testing. Specific
protocols are handled in specific test plans.
Overview:
The majority of the tests are link-clicks.
The test needs to be expanded to explain the expected results (right
now, the tester is assumed to know what the correct result is).
Also, the tests need to be applied to more entry points for URLs
(URL/location bar, "Open as New Window", "Open as Tab", etc.)
URL Schemes
This test covers schemes supported in Mozilla and Navigator 4. More detailed information about URL schemes in mozilla is under contruction.
| Area | Description | Comments |
| about: | about: | about: URL handler seems to be missing 150960 about: meta bug 96712 |
| aim: | Send IM (default | Note: iChat does not accept aim: URLs: 145807 |
| mailto: | mailto: | works, see: 151046 |
| gopher: | the original home of gopher | fixed in 0.6 150962 |
| telnet: | telnet://www.packetgram.com | works in Mac OS 10.2: 167118 |
| wais: | wais://something.com/searching?forthis | WAIS is unimplemented, but RFC specified scheme: 61540 |
| javascript: |
javascript:alert("pass") |
NOTE: the javascript code must be URL escaped to
work |

data: URL |
Per RFC 2397 |
| chrome: |
chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul | (skip test) Should
only work in URL bar |
| other | invalid:// | Unimplemented schemes should display error: 100176 |
| relative URLs |

DNS, IP addressing, ports and sockets
| Area | Description | Comments |
| DNS hostnames | starts with numbers maximum label size: 63 characters excceeds max label size (64 characters) nonexistent FQDN |
[RFE] Catch illegal DNS requests w/ error 140379 todo: many labels |
| IPv4 addresses | mozilla.org's IP address localhost, blocked port localhost: unused port http://63.207.57.30 http://255.255.255.255/ http://3486011863 decimal ip addressing http://127.1/ |
-> works -> "port blocked for security reasons" -> connection refused (if Internet Keywords is on, send to search engine) -> connection establishment timeout Mac OS X, Linux refuse to connect to broadcast address Win32 says "could not be found", Mac X classic times out. Chimera accepts IP addresses in single decimal: 150966 (Win32 and Linux accepts IP addresses as one large decimal value: 67730) IP addresses that are not dotted quads: 160819 |
| multiple DNS records | (need public test example) | Preferably a three-address entry that has one non-existent host, one host w/ a listener on the http port, and one valid port. 86917 |
| "internet keywords" searches |
hostname that does not resolve in DNS goes to keywords. hostname -> default domain in OS. hostname (URI ignored) -> search.netscape.com "mozilla" and "open source" |
Internet Keywords is not activated: 155321 if Internet Keywords is off:
|
| localhost handling | http://localhost/ | connects to 127.0.01 (loopback). If nothing is running will
search for keyword:localhost (if Internet Keywords is on) or return
connection refused error. |
| Isolated lan | Necko should work w/o DNS | some discussion in bug 11204 |

To Do:
These tests were branched from the main Mozilla tests, then overlaid
with results for Chimera. If Chimera ever takes a newer branch and/or
goes to the trunk, this test should be run from the current Mozilla
trunk copy, and then re-highlighted with Chimera specific results, in
red.
Last update:
11.05.02 - updated for Chimera 0.6
