25195 - browser continuously queries webserver for gif

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 21036

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[d robertson]

while reviewing our webserver access logs, i noticed a continous request for a 
certain gif file that is on an html page.  ironically, the gif is the 
netscape_now_anim.gif image that websites use to link to a download for 
netscape.  i traced the tcpip address for this query back to myself and 
determined that it was mozilla performing this continuous access of this one 
gif.  i created a simple webpage that only contains this one gif and tested 
again.  this web page with this one gif causes mozilla to continuously access 
the gif file.

this happens when using the windows client and linux client mozilla browser, 
M13.  i noticed similar logs, back when i was using a previous release of 
mozilla, so the problem existed before M13.  it does not happen with other 
browsers.

we use apache webserver, here is a small list of the access_log:

10.90.39.226 - - [27/Jan/2000:07:36:07 -0500] "GET /it/netscape_now_anim.gif 
HTTP/1.0" 304 -
10.90.39.226 - - [27/Jan/2000:07:36:09 -0500] "GET /it/netscape_now_anim.gif 
HTTP/1.0" 304 -
10.90.39.226 - - [27/Jan/2000:07:36:11 -0500] "GET /it/netscape_now_anim.gif 
HTTP/1.0" 304 -
10.90.39.226 - - [27/Jan/2000:07:36:13 -0500] "GET /it/netscape_now_anim.gif 
HTTP/1.0" 304 -


this starts when mozilla first access's the page and would go on forever if i 
would not get off the page.

i can send you the html and gif if you would like, just email me a request for 
them.
