1274485 - loadURI crashes on Firefox 46+ versions

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[vidya]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I am creating a Firefox addon which has a button on click redirects to server.

The below is my code
var postData = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/io/string-input-stream;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIStringInputStream);
		postData.setData(sPost, sPost.length);
		var mimeStream = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/mime-input-stream;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIMIMEInputStream);
		mimeStream.setData(postData);
		mimeStream.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
		mimeStream.addHeader("Content-Length", sPost.length);
		getWebNavigation().loadURI (sAddr, 
			nsIWebNavigation.LOAD_FLAGS_BYPASS_HISTORY | nsIWebNavigation.LOAD_FLAGS_BYPASS_PROXY,
			null,
			mimeStream,
			null);



Actual results:

loadURI does not return in Fireferox 46+ versions. Looks like it crashes


Expected results:

The same code works in Firefox 43 and redirects to server correctly.
Expecting the same code to work in Firefox 46 and 50

Could you attach a minimal testcase (like .xpi add-on or script to run in Scratchpad), please.
