297320 - When attempting to upload any large file, failure with alert saying document contains no data

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 292407

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Matthew Allen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050328 Fedora/1.7.6-1.2.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050328 Fedora/1.7.6-1.2.5

When attempting to upload a large file the browser immediately returns with a
javascript alert box saying the document contains no data.  I have designed an
upload site internally for my company and cannot give you access but this should
be reproducable at any upload site. This error ONLY occurs with firefox on
WINDOWS , IE works, and mozilla on linux works.  Any Help will be appreciated. 
Basically I am looking for is there a max file upload size on windows firefox?
And if not what could cause this error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to an upload site
2. attempt to upload a file of at least 5Mb
3. get alert box saying document contains no data

Actual Results:  
get the message saying the document contains no data and the file upload doesn't
happen and none of the resulting internal scripts to handle the file are executed

Expected Results:  
upload the file, store its information in a local database and email me that the
file is waiting for download

I see the ability to upload a file as a major feature.

its possible but the file upload does work for small files under firefox on windows, just not on anything 
larger 5mb is a good size to break it at.  The site has been tested to work up to 1.9 gigs (yes gigs) under 
IE and mozila on linux
