270841 - cannot pause download of attachment; canceling still saves part of a file

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

found using 2004111906-0.9 on linux fc2.

0. I've got a large attachment on one of my mail messages (1.6MB .pdf file).

1. context-click the file name in the attachment pane and select "save as."

2. in the resulting filepicker, select a destination (I chose a subdirectory
under my home dir) and click "save."

3. in the resulting download progress dialog do either of the following:

a. hit the "pause" button.
b. hit the "cancel" button.

results:

a. clicking "pause" changes that button to "resume," but the download continues
till about ~65% complete, then the dialog goes away. (not giving you a chance to
resume the d/l.) there's also a partial file in the destination dir. I get the
following in the js console:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004001
(NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) [nsIRequest.suspend]"  nsresult: "0x80004001
(NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED)"  location: "JS frame ::
file:///home/sairuh/thunderbird-bits/2004111906-0.9/thunderbird/components/nsProgressDialog.js
:: anonymous :: line 767"  data: no]

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) [nsIRequest.suspend]"  nsresult:

file:///home/sairuh/thunderbird-bits/2004111906-0.9/thunderbird/components/nsProgressDialog.js
:: anonymous :: line 767"  data: no]

b. clicking "cancel" dismisses the dialog. but when I look in the destination
dir, the file (part of it, not the whole thing) is still there --and it persists
after I quit tbird (just like in (a)). this scenario yields this js error:

Error: Math is not defined

Would be good to find out if this is cross platform.  Sarah: can you try this
again on Windows and mac and report back? thanks.

we won't be supporting pause and resume in 1.1. not sure when we'll try to do
that (if we do)
