11318 - socket transport not handling non-http servers in http:// urls

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Judson Valeski]

I'm using apprunner. The url is correct. It's an extreme case to illustrate the
problem which is actually fairly common.

When a host exists (is resolvable) but isn't running an http server (or it's
server is down), we crash in
nsresult nsHTTPChannel::ResponseCompleted(nsIChannel* aTransport)
{
    return m_pHandler->ReleaseTransport(aTransport);
}

the raw pointer in m_pHandler is bad.

We need to somehow "fail" when we run into a server that is resolvable, but not
connectable on port 80.

In the old world we would time out and eventually timeout with a "host not
responding" msg.

This bug has been fixed on the M9 branch.

I'll close it out when I merge the changes back onto the tip.
