117182 - TWIG (web email system) and Moz v0.9.7 do not get along

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 116210

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[JLapham]

When using the popular web-based email system "twig" (see
http://twig.screwdriver.net/) there is a problem which only appears with Mozilla
v0.9.7.  When clicking on "send message", the page never updates, the trobber
simply continues to.. well... throb.  The expected behavior is that the page
should update immediately update showing your list of email messages.

I've tested this under linux (RH 7.2) and windows 98 using moz v0.9.7.  This
problem does not exist with older releases of moz, or with NS 6.x.

If any developers are interested is seeing this problem, I can give them a
temporary account on my TWIG system so they can test this problem out.

BTW, I'm using TWIG v2.7.4 and I have also sent a message about this to the TWIG
developers mailing list.

Over to Networking: HTTP as a first guess.

From the 0.9.7 release notes:
-----------
Mozilla will hang when submitting forms which have a field to upload files if 
this field is blank or refers to an invalid file. This affects sites using Zope 
or IMP webmail, among others. (Bug 116210) 
-----------

This seems to be affecting a large number of web-based email systems.  :(  At 
least it's fixed on the trunk...

Marking duplicate because I'm 99% sure this is the problem in this case.  
JLapham, if the form in question does not have a file upload control that 
triggers bug 116210, please reopen this bug.

Boris-

Right you are.  There is an empty file upload (for attachments) control.  This
seems like a pretty nasty bug to have in v0.9.7!
