24213 - MFC class CHtmlView throws exception and crashes on BeforeNavigate2 event

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: ActiveX Wrapper, defect, P3)

Description

[locka]

The method CHtmlView::BeforeNavigate2 does an on the PostData parameter to
ensure that it is a variant containing a reference to another variant. The
Mozilla control is passing NULL for this value.

Change the Mozilla control so that it fires BeforeNavigate(2) events with one of
two values:

1. A variant referencing the original PostData supplied to Navigate2
2. A variant referencing an empty variant

Adding "crash" keyword to all known open crasher bugs.

Comment 2

[locka]

The control now fires a BeforeNavigate(2) with a correctly formed postdata 
variant value. It is still not the one passed in with Navigate(2), but it should 
stop the crashes at least.

Marking verified (fixed by reporter).
