55381 - infinite loop, warnings seen

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 53836

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P2)

Description

[Syd Logan]

It is somewhat hard to predict an intermittent, but the warning message is 
enough perhaps to suggest the fix:

<syd> JavaScript strict warning:
<syd> chrome://navigator/content/navigator.js line 1970: reference to undefined 
proper
<syd> ty window._content.HTTPIndex

This is being seen in the commercial ns pr3 branch but I assume it is also a 
problem in mozilla.

nominating rtm because infinite loops are uncool, and perhaps the strict warning 
message will help this bug get resolved quickly.

Matt, does this really cause a problem, i.e. a bug or a lockup, anywhere?

Comment 3

[matt]

I don't see this as an infinite loop but I do see this error almost everytime 
that the browser is loading a page.

This code seems to be here for pass default charset to directory viewer for bug 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28787

It seems that window._content.HTTPIndex is not a property.

Giving to nhotta who put this code in there

This is a dup of bug 53836 the patch is attached there.
As I mentioned in 53836, the number of warning is reduced when bug 51211 is fixed.
And bug 51211 was actually checked in and fixed today.

shouldn't this bug stay open for the infinite loop problem? that's way more 
serious than some JS warnings.

Comment 6

[nhottanscp]

Bug 51211 was fixed yesterday. Using today's branch debug build, I only see the
warning once per a page load, so no looping behavior.

Comment 7

So the remaining issue is a dup of bug 53836 and I don't think that's rtm.
