seen on recent builds branch and trunk

-attempt to Send Page of an ftp:// site

the page seems to send with an arror that the ftp://ftp.netscape.com file was 
not included.  reading the received messaged shows the link but not the web 
page. the link being sent seems link a viable workaround.

triaging.

This works for me in today's nightly (build 2001100214). I suspect that this is
a sideeffect of bug 101128. The fix for that went onto the trunk. darin was
going to ask about it going on the branch, but I don't know what happened with that.

Comment 3

[Bradley Baetz (:bbaetz)]

Also, as a separate bug which will appear in tomorrow's trunk builds - see bug
102826. Summary: ftp files will work, directories will give strange results

That bug is not this bug, since it was checked in after this was filed.

seen on commercial trunk builds:

windows 2001-10-03-06-trunk
linux 2001-10-03-06-trunk
mac 2001-10-03-04-trunk

okay, the error message on send is gone, but were still failing to send properly 
as bug 102826 states.


marking this fixed and letting the other bug track the remainder of the problem

scott, 
This problem is on the branch build as well. I still see the error dialog using 
the today's branch build on win98, linux so far.  Shouldn't this be fixed on 
branch as well?

Comment 6

[Bradley Baetz (:bbaetz)]

If you want this fixed on the branch then you need to verify that the patch for
bug 101128 is what fixe this, and then take that patch. darin?

Comment 7

[Scott MacGregor]

I just applied 101128 to the branch and it does indeed fix this problem. I'm
able to send and receive ftp pages now. 

Darin/Bradley, could one of you guys send me a risk assessment for the patch in
101128 if you would be so kind? I'd like to take it to PDT to convince them to
take it on the branch. Obviously if you guys think the patch was risky then I
would be less inclined to argue for it =).

Comment 8

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

PDT-, bug 101128 will resolve this.

Comment 9

[Scott MacGregor]

Sheela, I just checked 101128 onto the branch. So this bug should be fixed on
the branch now.

Comment 10

[Sheela Ravindran]

Thanks Scott,
I will check this on today's branch build.

Branch Builds: 
2001-10-04-05 win98, linux, MAC OS X 
Bug 101128 fix has corrected this problem.  I could send page the above url from 
the browser. I also tried other ftp pages and did not result in any error 
dialogs as before. The page was sent and received fine.  
Adding keyword vtrunk to check this on the trunk build later. Since Tracy 
mentioned in his comments on yesterday's trunk build he did not see the error 
but the page was not received properly.  I will check this again on the trunk 
later. 
But today's branch build I received pages the way it should.  

Comment 12

[Sheela Ravindran]

Unable to verify because of the new regression bug 107568. Bug 107568 should be
fixed in order to verify this.  

Comment 13

[Sheela Ravindran]

This is still not fixed on the trunk build. I tried a few builds and we still do 
not display the page inline. We just show the link when it is recieved.  

Was this really fixed on trunk? Should this be reopened or is this a new 
regression and I can close this and log a new bug? 

Comment 14

[Sheela Ravindran]

Based on the comments in this bug verifying this bug. Because the problem of 
error while sending is not there any more. Also unable to display the page has 
been tracked by bug 102826

Marking verified.
