From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417 BuildID: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417 when using the redhat network you have the ability to download ISO images while using https. There is an unfortunate problem with the https download client's behavior. It caches the entire file in memory while doing the download. In the case of an ISO this can be 700MBs. This is just wrong and causes the host to crash or slow down until the file is complete. The system should start flushing the file to disk sooner than this, perhaps every 10 to 20MBs. Not caching it to memory for ever. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.connect to redhat network 2.select download ISO images 3.download the ISO images and watch the memory consumption grow!! Works on Windows 2000 and Linux Actual Results: System memory consumption starts to grow at pace of file. Expected Results: flushed file to disk, just as in a regular ftp download, in chunks.
