188558 - Getting internal failure (secure communication) error during shutdown

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 181230

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Ere Maijala (slow)]

In recent builds (such as 2003100909) on WinXP I've started getting an alert
dialog when closing Mozilla. It says: "The operation cannot be completed because
of an internal failure. A secure network communication has not been cleaned up
correctly.". I'm using IMAPS. If I use only IMAP, I don't get this error.

This error message is shown by intention, unless people ask me to remove it. It
was added a couple of days ago with a patch for bug 177260.

It is meant to help us understand the reason of failures. It should go away once
bug 181230 has been fixed.

You should no longer see this error message with builds after last Saturday,
from Sunday.

Well, there is one known exception. When you have used LDAP/SSL in a session,
you might still see it. That's is a known deficiency in the LDAP code that might
fail to shut down SSL sockets prior to shutting down the application.

We should not see this message as a bug. It is a useful debugging helper to
enable us track down, whether our application cleans up correctly or not.

If you still see this error message with new builds, even when not having used
LDAP/SSL, please let us know.

what is the bug number for the LDAP/SSL bug mentioned in comment 2? i'm seeing
this on a daily basis after using LDAP/SSL.

(i see bug 204898, but if this was a "known exception" four months before said
bug was field, i imagine that's a dupe. thanks in advance.)

Louis, if you're seeing a bug with LDAP, you should file a new bug on LDAP. My
inclination is to mark this bug a dup of 181230 and close it, since it's about
imap. Ere, do you still see this happening with IMAP?

Long time no see :) No, I haven't seen this for months.
