168948 - FTP download never terminates

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 169002

(Core Graveyard :: Networking: FTP, defect)

Description

[Boris 'pi' Piwinger]

In the latest nightlies up to and including Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98;
en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/2002091604, a download (like from URL above) never
terminates. It works all the way to the end, but remains at "time remaining
00:00". "Transferred" shows that the download is complete, "Speed" remains
unchanged.

Experiencing the same thing under 2002091604 trunk / XP.

I actually noticed this yesterday but thought it was simply a one-off bug. 
Downloading the latest nightly today, the same thing happened.

This does not happen with http://ftp.mozilla.org/ but only with
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/ - so it's the protocol that's having problems here.  (I
was able to FTP the file from Mozilla's site via a command shell without any
problem.)

Since this was also occuring in the 9/15 builds, it must have been introduced
sometime between 9/13 and 9/15.  (I did not use a 9/14 build so I can't comment.)

Is this related to bug 146574? Sounds like the same problem, but with *any* ftp
download, not just password-protected ones.

We don't have password protection here.

Comment 4

[Malcolm Scott]

Yes, but apart from that it seems the same.

Comment 5

[Boris 'pi' Piwinger]

The other difference is that this bug here is new. It worked a few days ago.

[Ere Maijala (slow)]

Viewing a text file on a ftp server also leaves the download "running".

Comment 7

[Jason Bassford]

Is bug 169002 a duplicate?  I was just about to mark it as such until I read bug
169002 comment 2 - so they are aware of this bug but think it's different, for
whatever reason.

Comment 8

[Malcolm Scott]

In bug 169002, it appears that "the progress meter never paints" (i.e. the
download never gets going?). In *this* bug, the progress meter paints and
reaches 100%, but stays there without finishing.

nominating for buffy: occurs on all platforms and affects the d/l mgr.

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

sounds like a dup.

Comment 12

[Boris 'pi' Piwinger]

As comment 8 says, this is not strictly a dupe. But probably it had the same
source anyways. After checking out the broken patch it now works in Mozilla/5.0
(Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/2002091804.
