Overview Description: When you try to submit a form that contains more than 16KB
of data in a single hidden/text input or textarea fields, it fails to send that
data to the server and it hangs the browser.
Hidden fields may contain large amounts on application generated data. I tried
posting 64KB (four times more than the above) using 4.5 or pre-Necko builds, and
the data is sent without a flaw.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Click on the URL provided and verify you have access to the cgi script. It
will respond as "Welcome to Bubblegum Server!".
If you cannot access to bubblegum, download the attached cgi script and put it
on a web server directory with cgi execution privileges.
2) Load the attached testcase, or create an HTML file with the following
contents, and *wait* (10~20 sec. on Win NT) until it loads :
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Data Length Submission Test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM ACTION="/gerardok/cgi/cgitest.cgi" METHOD="post">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="myname">
<INPUT TYPE="submit">
</FORM>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
// Generate text for ~17KB
for( i = 65; i < 82; i++ ) {
//10 char alphabetic string
var s = "";
var c = String.fromCharCode(i);
for( k = 0; k < 10; k++ ) {
s += c;
}
//Generate ~1000 char string
for( j = 0; j < 100; j++ ) {
document.forms[0].myname.value += s;
}
document.forms[0].myname.value += "<br>";
}
alert( "Page loaded" );
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
3) When the page is loaded, an alert msg. will be displayed. Press the Ok button
to close that dialog box.
4) Click on the Submit button, and wait (5~10 sec. on Win NT) for the cgi
response.
Actual Results: The browser window hangs.
Expected Results: The submitted data should be displayed right below Bubblegum's
greeting Msg.
Build ID & Platform Bug Found: 1999-08-30-10-M10 on Win NT
Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On: 1999-08-30-01 on Linux, and
1999-08-30-09 on Mac.
Additional Information: Use hidden input only on Linux, as the UI widgets aren't
holding much data there because another bug.
Load the second attached testcase that sends only ~16KB, in order to demostrate
a successful data submission.
Updating attached testcases. I've forgot to update the server name for form
submission. In the above HTML, where it reads:
<FORM ACTION="/gerardok/cgi/cgitest.cgi" METHOD="post">
It should read:
<FORM ACTION="http://bubblegum/gerardok/cgi/cgitest.cgi" METHOD="post">
Severity: critical → blocker
Summary: [CRASH] Form doesn't send data when more than 16KB are submitted → [BLOCKER][CRASH] Form doesn't send data when more than 16KB are submitted
This is preventing the automated tests from submitting test results when the
data to be sent is longer than 16KB. 8/24 and past Necko builds failed to submit
the data but it didn't crash the browser, but since 8/27 build it crashes and
stops automation. Updated Severity and Summary fields to reflect this.
should be a small one to track down. need some volunteers for this one.
rick is fixing a similar related problem of having the input stream being
created before opening the connection to the socket. Am letting him take this.

I've checked in a bunch of changes to both HTTP and the underlying socket
transport to fix this problem...
The test case now works fine in viewer (it also used to work in apprunner until
I updated to the tip). The crash in apprunner is related to the modal dialog
box that the page displays after loading :-(
