1422048 - Exception logs not useful when an httpd method called from handleResponse throws

Status: NEW

(Testing :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Honza Bambas (:mayhemer)]

See [0].  The method that was throwing was response.finish(), with a stack like:

httpd.js!response.finish()
file_blocked_script.sjs!finishBlockedRequest()
file_blocked_script.sjs!handleRequest(metadata, response)
httpd.js!_writeFileResponse(..)

The problem was that |response| was not processAsync()'ed.


It would be good to fix or enhance the code at [1] to include the source of the exception or change the way we throw exceptions from httpd methods (just throw Cr.NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED; apparently looses the file:line info).
