212470 - keeps files locked after posting them via file-input

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 183689

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[mbirth]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

After posting a file via an INPUT TYPE=file, Mozilla seems to keep the file
locked after the post operation completed. I was not able to delete the uploaded
file until I closed Mozilla.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a page where you can upload files, e.g. my homepage:
http://www.webwriters.de/mbirth/cgibin/getfile.cgi
2. Upload a file, wait until the upload completes
3. Try to delete the file from your harddisk, while Mozilla is still running

Actual Results:  
Error, because the file is locked by an application.

Expected Results:  
Release the lock after upload completes.
