116527 - Submitting certain multipart forms hangs

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 116494

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

Description

[mozilla]

Mozilla version: 2001122106 (0.9.7)

Try posting a new thread or a reply in the "A place to test things out" forum at
www.vbulletin.com. After hitting the "Submit" button, Mozilla displays "Sending
request to www.vbulletin.com...", but it never finishes.

The temporary "formpost-nnn" file is created, and a comparison with older
formpost files shows that the Content-Length seems to be 2 bytes longer than the
following content.

Attachment: Test form with "input type=file" field

The problem seems to be with the <input type="file"> element. If no file is
selected, older versions of Mozilla sent an extra CRLF as content of the field.
Mozilla 0.9.7 seems to count this CRLF for the Content-Length header, but does
not actually insert it into the content.
