133539 - FTP upload doesn't give error status if directory doesn't exist when publishing

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Charles Manske]

Use Composer "File | Pulblish As" menuitem to start Publishing dialog.
Fill in filename and settings tab data if necessary with a valid FTP publishing
URL. Or select one from the list if you set it up before (check Settings panel 
to be sure it's using FTP).
Be sure you have a valid username and password in the Settings input fields.
In Publish tab, enter a subdirectory in the "Subdirectory for this page" input
that you know doesn't exist.
Click on Publish button. You will get the alert dialog showing the 
subdirectory+filename : No such file or directory
message, but the page will appear to have published successfully -- the 
window title will show "ftp://..." (or "http://...") before the filename, 
indicating that you are now editing the remote file, but it really didn't 
publish!
If you have the debug flags turned on in ComposerCommands.js:
const gShowDebugOutputStateChange = true;
const gShowDebugOutputProgress = true;
const gShowDebugOutputStatusChange = true;
you can monitor all that "aStatus" values in the nsIWebProgressListener 
callbacks and you will see that none are non-zero, which is supposed to tell us
that upload failed.

Proper error status is a "must have" in order for publishing to work

I can't reproduce this bug; I get a Publishing Failed dialog after the missing
directory alert (2 alerts total).

Sujay or DSL Michael--can one of your reproduce?
