1272779 - Post Method Failing Intermittently in Firefox V46 Version

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1269055

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Anand]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I have an application which is running fine for last 5 years. This has multiple HTTP POST and GET REST API calls will be made. After the recent V46 version the first POST method fails to get a response without any failure code. The same works fine in V45 as well as in chrome and IE.


Actual results:

The same call after giving OK works fine and receives 200 OK Response.


Expected results:

The POST method should have returned 200 OK or other HTTP codes. Instead POST itself is not intiated.

Is there any known bug with Firefox V46 causing this issue.

Hi Anand, here's a suggestion from our developers for a workaround:  Adjust your server side persistent connection timeout to be about 5 seconds longer than the firefox value. Firefox uses 115 seconds for HTTP/1.x and 180 seconds for HTTP/2.  

Hope that helps. If you try it, please let us know the result.
