1277615 - Clearing brower cache history and web push endpoint expiration problem

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1275436

(Core :: DOM: Push Subscriptions, defect)

Description

[Arturo]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0
Build ID: 20160511224433

Steps to reproduce:

User-side:
- generating an endpoint with a `serviceWorkerRegistration.pushManager.subscribe()`
- sending web notifications to the endpoint (push is well sent and received)
- clearing cache browser history
- again, sending a web notification (push is not received, a new endpoint need to be generated)

=> So, a user has an endpoint and receives web push. But if he clears his browser cache, he won't receive web notifications anymore. This endpoint becomes kind of expired".


Actual results:

Server-side: 
If we send a push to the "expired" endpoint (as described above), Mozilla always returned a "201 Created"


Expected results:

Server-side:
In this specific case, could you return an error, e.g. "errno 103 - Expired URL endpoint", telling us that this endpoint won't receive web notifications anymore ?

Thanks! This should be fixed by bug 1275436, which will be available in tomorrow's Nightly. If you clear "Site Preferences" in History > Clear Recent History, or use the "Forget" button, it'll remove the subscriptions from the server.
