Details

If you create a form with more than 100 hidden fields, and try to post using
multipart/form-data, the browser will hang while posting.  This behavior is only
seen in 0.9.9.  0.9.8 works just fine. 

I've been using PHP to generate the tests, but there is no reason that straight
HTML and CGIs will also exhibit this same behavior.  Note the difference between 

http://slacy.com/moztest.php?n=10 

and

http://slacy.com/moztest.php?n=110

The first works, and the second hangs the browser. 

Here is the source of "moztest.php"

<html><body>Heres the start of my form: 
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action=mozecho.php method="post">
<?php
for ($i = 0; $i < $n; $i++) {
    print "<input type=hidden name=hide_$i value=$i>\n"; 
}
print "<input type=hidden name=count value=$i>\n"; 
?>
<input type=submit value="Score The Test">
</form>
<?php print "Form has $i hidden fields<br>\n";  ?>
</body></html>

Here is the source of "mozecho.php"

<html><body><?php
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
$varname = "hide_$i";
$value = ${$varname};
print "Hidden $i: Value $value<br>\n"; 
}
?>
</body></html>
hmmm, souds more like the large data amount submission failure on linux. see bug
130301
Depends on: 130301
It sounded to me like bug 130301 is for regular POST methods.  I've found that
this problem only occurs with multipart/form-data, but that may just be that my
data was always under the "size limit" implied by bug 130301, and the
multipart/form-data encoding puts it over that limit.

I've just annotated my tests to print $CONTENT_LENGTH, and it does seem to jive
with the ~10k number described in 130301.  Its highly likely that this is a dupe
of that bug, but time will tell...
i don't see the problem with either mozilla 0.9.9 or linux trunk build #2002040302
please test this again with a brand new build. the bug 130301 is fixed so this
should work too. mark as a duplicate please. (get new builded binaries from
ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/...)
this works on linux build 2002-05-13
