Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 126829

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Glenn Kidd]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311
BuildID:    2002031104

After uploading a file via the <input type="file" name="upload"> mechanism, the
file locks.  You can no longer delete, move, or edit the file until you close
the browser.  I first encountered this problem using the WebLogic server console
but I found an example which I listed inthe URL field which demonstrates the
problem as well.  I was able  to reproduce this problem 3 times, at 3 different
places.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://gemal.dk/browserspy/upload.html
2. click on browse to select a text file
3. click on upload
4. after the next page is done loading, try to delete the file

Actual Results:  I was prompted as follows:

"Cannot delete filename.  There has been a sharing ciolation.  The source or
destination file may be in use."

Expected Results:  After uploading the file. Mozilla should release its handle
on the uploaded file.

You can reproduce the problem by making an html page containing:

<input type="file" name="upload">
