Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 210119

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect, P1)

Description

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

seen on commercial trunk builds from yesterday and today.

windows 2003-06-19/20-04-trunk
mac 2003-06-19/20-03-trunk

-Goto apple.com/trailers (test URL given above)
-select a movie trailer to watch
in many cases a page will come up asking in what resolution you'd like to view
the trailer.  this page is hanging.  it doesn't finish loading.  
-Click stop
it seems to stop
-browse to another page
the new page doesn't open, although it appears to be trying to load something.
-quit the browser
on mac, quitting hangs the app, must force quit to really get out.
on windows, quitting the app seems to work. But, on starting up again, by
selecting the same profile, a message appears saying that the profile is in use
and to either create or select another profile.  Task manager doesn't show any
NS running.  The only way to use the same profile again is to reboot the
machine. :-/

I don't think this is the QT plugin.  I am seeing a similar hang on linux and
the plugin isn't installed there.

looking....

Comment 3

[Peter Lubczynski]

confirming....after visiting the URL I'm no longer able to browse. if I try to
quit, the process hangs around in the background. There don't appear to be any
plugins on this page so I'm looking deeper....

Tracy, can you pull a few more builds to narrow down when this first started?
Thanks!

I see "Transfering Data from statse.webtrendslive.com" in the status bar when I
copy the page locally. That URL is referenced from an external Javascript.

peter, i don't think tracy was seeing this yesterday, so it's something that
happened between yesterday's verifications and today's. Do you mind if i re-open
the tree while you investigate? This doesn't seem worthy of holding the tree closed.

I started seeing this with yesterday morning's build (2003061904), so I think it
started before that. I am running 2003061804 and see no sign of the problem.

sure, open the tree, downgrading to critcal.

This isn't a plugin bug and has something to do with the external script so I'm
reassigning but I'll keep looking at it after lunch and meetings.

Note that there's an IFRAME that also has the same set of scripts.

ahha...a debug build reveals all:

I had a build which did not show the problem. I applied Darin's patch in bug
208845 and now I get the infinite loop with this ASSERTION (w/ nsHTTP log context):

in fact, my patch for bug 210119 appears to fix this bug.
