According to the Mozilla bug report on the issue, they decided to back out 
their support given the high number of IIS servers being stupid. The rate 
was as high as 9.5% in Jan 1st, 2004, but it has dropped to 0.25% the 
last month (compare

to 
http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/man.200312/firewalled_cloc.html)

This means those servers are slowly being fixed. Which is why I think this 
feature should stay.

If at all, maybe the Opera solution would suit better 
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109553#c14): use 
Content-Location if the protocol, host and port are the same.
