165636 - Could not save page, but could print it, view it, everything else

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 160448

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Sherman]

I got the following error any time I tried to save the page:

The link could not be saved.  The web page might have been removed or had its
name changed.

I was buying stuff from bhphoto.com, but could not save the invoice page.  I
could Print it, View it, but not save-as it.  Even in the View mode, I could not
save the html (which was right there in the page!--I was looking right at it!).
 I finally cut-n-pasted it--only thing that would work. 

This problems seems very strange, since I could see the HTML in view-source mode
and the images used to construct the page were in the cache.  So everything that
was need to save the page was present.  Mozilla just refused to do it, giving
the above error.  (It didn't even give me the option of saving just the raw html
or the text versions.  It just immediately gave me the above error message).

This is for Mozilla 1.1 (not the nightly).  I'm running a RH 7.2 distribution
with a 2.4.7 kernel.  I've never had problems saving invoices before, but this
is the first time I've tried with 1.1.

Do you still have the HTML?  This bug can't be triaged without a web page to
look at.

The site just flubs HEAD requests.... this will get better once we stop using HEAD.

bzbarsky:  what is the status of this bug?  Can we resolve it, or reassign it to
networking?

dup of bug 160448?

Essentially the same bug, marking duplicate... and that one at least has a
reasonable component.
