Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/63.0.3239.84 Chrome/63.0.3239.84 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Go to http://trans-hurt.home.pl/firefox_bug/test.mp3 (looped royalty-free music) and leave audio playback for a few minutes (You can mute it).


Actual results:

After a few minutes "The connection was reset" error is displayed. Server has strict TCP keepalive policy and timeouts such connections quickly when no more data is requested for a longer time. I have attached screenshot from Wireshark when that happens.


Expected results:

Firefox should reconnect to server when the connection was lost while in TCP keepalive mode and waiting for more audio data request from player. Chromium handles situation correctly.
