Comment 2

[Moied]

Sorry about this URL, its a an internal URL,
This alert can also be seen when visiting Snapfish.com on a dialup connection, 
login into Snapfish with a valid userid, and password, select any album, this 
will try to bring up all the snaps in this album, here you see a alert: document 
contains no data.

WFM using the 1.0.0-20020514 build under linux.

i tried the bubblegum link and the steps in bug 135182 comment 10... could not
repro the problem.  anyone else able to repro the problem?

reducing severity to major since this does not seem to be all that reproducible
(anymore?!).

Comment 8

[djk]

I was still able to reproduce with build 2002051304-trunk on w98 using the bug
135182 comment 10 testcase.

I went back and forward a few times, opened and closed tabs, and eventually even
the ireland.com homepage gave me the 'document contains no data' dialog with no
displayed content.

I had http1.1, keep-alive, and pipelining all turned on.

Decided to test the http networking settings:
Opened tab, reloaded while the page was loading, clicked on link to the irish
times, reloaded, etc.  No real set pattern; just lots of reloads and clicks.
* http1.0 -> could not repro the error.
* http1.1 without keep-alive or pipelining -> could not repro the error.
* http1.1 with keep-alive without pipelining -> could repro the error.
* http1.1 with keep-alive and pipelining -> could repro the error.

According to validator.w3.org, ireland.com's webserver is:
Apache/1.3.24 (Unix) mod_perl/1.26

djk: thx for the extra info.

Comment 10

[Tom Everingham]

darin, the site listed in bug 135182 comment 10 is the one that we saw the
multiple RST's coming back from the server when using ns6.  I am not sure why it
acts differently when connecting with 4.7.

[Darin Fisher]

see bug 143096 for a reproducible test case.

Comment 13

[Dave Latham]

I've also seen this several times with build:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020510

On Windows XP and 2000.
I am also using a local, ad-filtering proxy, dunno if that could affect anything.

Comment 14

[Darin Fisher]

depending on how your ad-filtering proxy works, it may cause this error to
appear more often.  the only way to know is to capture some network traffic on a
page with blocked ads... preferrably a simple page ;-)
