User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open 192.168.8.1 (local address for Huawei E5577 mifi's dashboard).
  2. Open SMS tab. (short messaging services)
  3. Delete a received SMS, or send a new SMS.

Actual results:

Always failed to delete received SMS. And when sending new SMS, it's never completed, forever "waiting", and the SMS is never sent.

Expected results:

SMS received should be able to be deleted, and new SMS sent should be delivered instantly.
Note: It works perfectly in Firefox v63 and older versions, also it works perfectly in Chrome browser. This problem has been tested in a brand new Firefox profile.

There is basically no way for us to test this because you need that device.
Could you use our mozregression tool to find the change in Firefox that caused this ?

Sorry some verdict results are missing, blank verdicts are all = BAD.

Thank you very much for doing the work with mozregression !

Does your page work again if you open about:config (enter as URL in Firefox), confirm the warning, enter "xhr" at the top search bar and change "dom.xhr.lowercase_header.enabled" from "true" to "false" ?

Yes it works! Now the SMS things works normally as before.
Thank you very much.
Btw, I don't know what should I do then to close this bug report?

Flags: needinfo?(amypeleoalampay)

bug 1398718 changed the Firefox behavior to match the specification as far as I understand bug 1398718.

Firefox sends headers to the server (in this case your LTE mifi hotspot) after the change in lowercase instead of uppercase.
That breaks the SMS page but it should not and it's the fault of the server (your LTE router) and not Firefox !

With flipping the option in Firefox you have restored the old behavior and Firefox sends uppercase headers to the server again.
That pref will most likely removed in the future with bug 1504344 and your SMS page will stop working again.

That it works in Chrome either means that Chrome sends uppercase headers or the Huawei router contains special code for Firefox.

Flags: needinfo?(twisniewski)

Sorry, this one slipped under my radar. I'm not sure what I can confirm or diagnose here, it sounds to me like :Matti's diagnosis is essentially correct.

Chrome now lowercases header names for getAllResponseHeaders as well, so if the SMS function is still working on Chrome, they must either have a special-case for such routers/functions, or the router itself is doing something odd.

However, I just tested an XHR locally on my own router, and Chrome is lowering the response headers, so I can't be 100% sure.

This seems like a web compatibility to me, so I'd like to change the component and see if we can ask Huawei to take a look at this.

Component: DOM: Networking → Desktop
Product: Core → Web Compatibility
Version: 64 Branch → Firefox 64

Note that I'm planning to remove the non-lowercasing workaround here during the current development cycle, as it will overly complicate other standards-compliance fixes like the one for bug 1491010.

Perhaps Bingqing Li could help with contacting Huawei for us?

We've started to contact Huawei, but MiFi is a different product rather than mobile phone, it might take some time.

No problem, thank you!

I just wanted to mention that in bug 1540688, we're also running into a similar issue with Wingle devices, in case we could use another example for outreach.

Amy, we recently landed a fix in bug 1540688 which I suspect might also fix this issue. Could you try the SMS interface again with the latest Firefox nightly and let us know if it works again?

Flags: needinfo?(amypeleoalampay)

AmyPeleo could you check the issue on latest Firefox Nightly and see if it still reproduces?

AmyPeleo could you check the issue on latest Firefox Nightly and see if it still reproduces?

Sorry for being very late, I didn't see any notification.
I've installed latest nightly, version 88.0a1 (2021-02-27) (64-bit)
Opened the dom.xhr.lowercase_header.enabled in about:config in the nightly version, and see it not in there.
Then opened 192.168.8.1, the Huawei dashboard.
Deleting SMS and sending SMS working perfectly now.
So I guess the bug is fixed now.
Thank you.

Thanks Amy for confirming, I will close the issue.
