I believe that stupidity only works in IE, no? Doesn't work in
Firefox or Safari.
Works fine in Firefox on Linux (though Thunderbird gave me warning
that it thought it might be a scam when I clicked on it).
Whether a URL in that format works or not is a function of the
resolver library more than the browser.
Which is what I thought, however...
1) Doesn't work in Safari on OS X
2) Doesn't work in Firefox on OS X
3) Doesn't work in Camino/Mozilla in OS X (makes sense)
4) DOES work from the command line in OSX (ping, traceroute, and
links but not ncftp or whois)
So, it's not a function of the DNS server or the base OS.
Interesting, if a bit odd.
I'm surprised it works in Firefox win/linux and not in OS X's Firefox.
In linux:
It works in konqueror and in Opera (9.0).
It works in wget.
It sort of works in lynx -- I get back from Google:
" 400 Bad Request
"Google
" Error
" Bad Request
"Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request."
... but that is probably a User-Agent issue raised by Google.
