Details

After hitting pause/resume repeatedly, I can generally trigger the dropped connection dialog. All I can think of is that I'm managing to hit resume before nsXIEngine::Download had checked the status.
It seems the stub installer occaisonally pulls up a stale mirror from round-robbin DNS. libxpnet doesn't handle 404 response code and just returns nsHTTPConn::E_HTTP_RESPONSE, which nsXIEngine doesn't understand, so it just assumes the connection was dropped.
Summary: hitting pause/resume a lot triggers dropped connection dialog → stub installer should inform user of HTTP response error codes instead of assuming dropped connection
QA Contact: bugzilla → general
Full installer and stub-installer have been discontinued on the (Linux) trunk. Andrew, feel free to REOPEN for the Branch if appropriate.
