104582 - A 'save as' dialog after 'Too many users' message -- saves garbage

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 63798

(Core Graveyard :: Networking: FTP, defect)

Description

[Philip White]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913
BuildID:    2001091303

When I click on an FTP link of a server that is full with users, I first get an
alert "Too many users - please try again later." So far so good. Then, however,
a "Save As" dialog appears, asking me to save the file that I cannot download.
If I specify a filename, it begins "downloading" it. It takes 1 second for
Mozilla to "download" that file (which is 0 bytes), and when I open it, it's not
a valid Win32 application. Garbage, basically.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a busy FTP site
2. Try to download a file
3. Specify a filename to save as.

Actual Results:  Even though Mozilla technically was unable to access the actual
file, it still asked for a filename and saved some 0-bytes garbage on the hard
drive.

Expected Results:  Display the alert as it did, then don't do anything else.
