1337651 - Uploaded files are sometimes locked until the browser is closed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1304056

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[László Jánszky]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0
Build ID: 20170125094131

Steps to reproduce:

I installed Joomla 3.4.3 on localhost and created a custom component. I created a component installer PHP script and added a manifest.xml file. After that I zipped the folder and uploaded it with the joomla extension manager site for installation.


Actual results:

When there was bug in the installer script, the zip file was being locked until I closed the browser or unlocked it by a program. When there was no bug in the installer script, then the file was unlocked by firefox properly.


Expected results:

The file should have been unlocked by firefox regardless of whether the PHP scirpt it contains has a bug.

This happens only by Firefox, so it is certainly browser related bug. I found this one similar https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459384 but I don't press any history button. The main difference I think that Joomla does not relocate the page after unsuccessful installation, since the compile error prevents that. By successful installation the page is relocated by Joomla. Most of the web pages relocate after POST I guess that's why nobody reported this yet. So not only the history back button, but not relocating the page results in a non unlocked file as well.
