1246737 - File upload over SSL blocks any other SSL requests to the same server.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[activedecay]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #377326 +++

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3

When uploading a file via a web form using POST over HTTPS, no other SSL requests go through until the file upload is complete.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a web form with a file upload (INPUT TYPE=FILE) using the POST method (ACTION=POST) and a submit button.
2. Access the page via HTTPS and upload a larger file.
3. Open a new tab and try to connect to the same server using HTTPS.

Actual Results:  
The page will not load until the file upload has completed or ended.

Expected Results:  
The page should load regardless of a file upload.

This is preventing AJAX scripts from running while users upload files. It prevents file upload monitoring while using HTTPS. Scripts which work using HTTP do not work using HTTPS.
