173690 - Impossible to stop a server push from updating

Status: NEW

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Description

[Ben]

When viewing a webcam at:

http://mercury.zeus.co.uk/bunnycam/index-stream.html

It seems impossible to stop the page from continually reloading - the STOP
button is greyed out, so you can't click on it. Nonetheless, the image does keep
reloading (the STOP button sometimes flickers active when the image refreshes,
but I haven't been able to click it)

The image is being updated via a server-push multipart/x-mixed-replace MIME
type. There's another version of the page at:

http://mercury.zeus.co.uk/bunnycam/index-iframe.html

This one updates the image by putting it in an iframe, with a refresh header.
This version is also seemingly impossible to stop reloading.

The STOP button should surely stop further page loads, so the fact that it
doesn't seems like a bug to me.

Mozilla version 1.1 (From Debian, version 1.1-1)

http://mercury.zeus.co.uk/bunnycam/stream.cgi is a continuous JPEG push. If you
open the image by itself the Stop button is available, but not when embedded in
the listed HTML page.
