221905 - Cannot load URL with Mozilla

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

2003101004 trunk

Attempting to load http://www.healthfind.org/ fails. There is no error message,
and installing LiveHTTP Headers captures no headers - not even request headers.
There is no indication that something bad has happened. The throbber just
animates for a second and then stops. Using lwp-request (Perl) works fine.
Loading the HTML from a local file (downloaded with lwp-request) causes no problems.

Here are the HTTP response headers from a lwp-request session:

Doesn't load in the releases of Mozilla 1.5rc2, Firebird 0.6.1, or in IE6sp1. In
IE I get a page not displayed error, and I get what you described in Mozilla and
Firebird. There should be some sort of an error message from Mozilla, but there
isn't :/

Possibly related are bug 180831 and bug 221765.

Well, now the URL started working. Hopefully the headers and log file will be
enough to track this down.

WFM Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20030813

That's why comment #5. This isn't always repeatable, but it does happen, and it
doesn't appear to be limited to one site in particular. Please leave this as
open until we know for sure that it is a dup or works for me in some permanent way.

jerry: if this happens again, can you please include "nsSocketTransport:5" in
the log... i.e., NSPR_LOG_MODULES=nsHttp:5,nsSocketTransport:5

thx!

from the log file, it just appears that we wrote out our request to the server,
and then found the socket to be closed when we tried to read from it.  looks
like a bad connection to the server.  in this case Mozilla produces no error
since it looks like an empty HTTP/0.9 response.

WFM or repeated loads - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008010705 Minefield/3.0b3pre

but I'm guessing the page has changed.  Is there another testecase?
