160464 - apple.com - download fails when I click "Download update" on page

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Mark L. Alexander]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020722
BuildID:    2002072203

On the page specified, Apple has a variety of files available for download in
various languages. Clicking on "North American English" will result in any
number of abnormal responses such as lockups, crashes, 'circle jerking' (the
page reloads repeatedly, cramming the History with identical URLs), or simply
nothing.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://www.info.apple.com
2.Click on "MacOS 9.2.1 Update" in RH column
3.Click on "North American English--Single File" icon in file list

Actual Results:  Sometimes a lockup, sometimes a crash, sometimes a 'circle
jerk,' sometimes nothing--NEVER normal outcome

Expected Results:  Opened the Download Manager window, and asked if I wanted to
download the file now

Can't access [http://www.info.apple.com/kbdnum/n120030]. Mark, does Mozilla ever generate 
TalkBack reports following your crashes? Do you have TalkBack enabled?

Reassigning to Download Manager for the time being.

Mark, can you still reproduce this problem using a recent nightly build?

Apple has fixed a lot of their pages for Safari compliance. Most of these
changes also help Mozilla.

Download works in Mozilla 2003020703.

If the problem still occurs in OS 9, it is WONTFIX.
