146642 - Open in new tab renders wrong, reload renders correctly

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Pascal Scheffers]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020205
BuildID:    20020205

The above URL is the starting URL for a search page that I was not able to grab
directly (statefull server it seems). 

When I select a search result and choose 'open in new tab', the page initially
displays a text page starting with 

<meta name='GENERATOR' content='The Internet Content Control'>
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0

After hitting reload it renders correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
(pages are in dutch, but not hard to navigate)
1. go to
http://213.159.10.120/vacaturebank/zoeken/index.cfm?fuseaction=zoek&zijpad=1
2. In the top search box, select 'Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam'
3. At the bottom of the page, click 'Vacatures zoeken'
4. Right click on any of the search results and choose 'open in new tab'


Actual Results:  The page shows a text only display, including the HTTP/1.1 200
OK result headers from IIS/5.0



Expected Results:  a properly formatted page. 

Hitting reload makes the page render correctly. I tested grabbing the URL with a
normal telnet session, and the correct User-Agent string. The server seems to
return the content correctly consistently.

Reporter, you are using an old build. Test with a recent build, please. If
problem is fixed, you can close this bug.

Sorry about the older version, the Bug still exists in Mozilla with User-Agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020516

I cannot test an even more recent version until Ximian updates their RPMs
(Ximian-desktop on RH7.1, updated yesterday)

Regards,
Pascal.

WFM, 1.0 RC2 on Linux. Maybe this is a HTTP 1.1 issue?

Reporter, always inform in the bug report if the build isn't from vanilla
mozilla distribution. Better yet, try with a latest Mozilla release. (You can
install it into a separate directory just for testing)

Alas, from a test with build ID: 2002052309 from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.0rc3/
mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.0rc3.tar.gz has the bug. Extracted to /tmp/mozilla/
and ran /tmp/mozilla/mozilla with no arguments, it correctly picked up my
settings from my homedir. 

Some more tests.

It seems the originating page is also important, if I create a simple page with
only URL http://213.159.10.120/EUR/vacatures/detail.cfm?vacature_id=QNWTGFWW
does not trigger the bug. It only works when the page comes from the same
server. That makes me think of keep-alive.

Yes, Keep-Alive seems to be involved in the problem, lsof shows an open connection:

mozilla-b 4016   pascal   39u  IPv4 284204 TCP 6-144.fol.nl:32862->
213.159.10.120:http (ESTABLISHED)

When I turn off Preferences::Advanced::HTTP networking::Enable persistent
connections the page shows correctly on the first try. Changing from http 1.1 to
1.0 but leaving persisten connections has the bug.

-Pascal.
