1595146 - Check available disk space before starting a download

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 864148

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[08xjcec48]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0

Steps to reproduce:

Started a download with the Content-Length header informing a size larger than the available space on the destination volume.

Actual results:

Firefox filled up the remaining disk space before the download failed.

Expected results:

When the server gives a Content-Length header larger than the available disk space, Firefox should warn the user instead of starting the download normally.
