Description

[Alexander Rabtchevich]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051020 SeaMonkey/1.1a
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051020 SeaMonkey/1.1a

When I try downloading file from (page is in Russian)
http://fenzin.org/book/12132
Mozilla refuses saving files. It writes:
C:\Docu....\dfhgddf.rar could not be saved because the source file cannot be read.
Other files (images, html, even rar from other locations) are saved without
problems. The compreg.dat file doesn't concern with this problem.
IE works ok for the retrieval of the file.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://fenzin.org/book/12132
2. Click the underlined text rar-архив (212 Kb) right the little red arrow
3. In the opened pop-up window enter 4 digits (their picture is left) and click
the right button.

Actual Results:  
The file is not saved

Expected Results:  
The file should be saved

Confirming, with SeaMonkey Trunk (2005100806) it does not work, but with SeaMonkey branch builds (2005101109) and with Mozilla 1.7.12 it does (Win XP). Need to check with current builds.

[Alexander Rabtchevich]

The current builds (including one from 04.12.05) still have the bug.

Does not work with SeaMonkey 1.5a Trunk build 2005120508 on WinXP.
Does work with SeaMonkey 1.0b Branch build 2005120600 and Mozilla 1.7.12 on WinXP.

Don't know why or if this is a dupe. CCing some people which could know it.

Attachment: HTTP logs

Attached http logs with NSPR_LOG_MODULES=nsHttp:5,nsSocketTransport:5,nsHostResolver:5 for both versions (until download failed or succeeded).

The site sends:

  Content-Encoding: AnyTrash

which is a bogus value...  So this is a duplicate of bug 309510 -- we should be able to save data in any content encoding, as needed.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 309510 ***

Thanks, Boris. I thought so this is known, but at 03:00 local time I did not see that bogus type. ;-)

I would suggest to adjust the summary from bug 309510 to clearly states that this is for any (unknown) content-encoding. Makes it easier to find.

Alexander, I couldn't find the file you had difficulty with. Could you put a link to a current problem rar file on here?

Comment 8

[Alexander Rabtchevich]

Well, open http://fenzin.org/book/12332
Click the text "rar-archive (292 Kb)" right to small blue arrow within a red frame. In the opened window type a text which appears left to edit contol in the edit control and click the right button.

Alexander, very helpful. Using Win32 nightlies, I found that all the 1.0 builds seem to handle problem file ok, and the Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050826 SeaMonkey/1.1a build works ok, but the Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050929 SeaMonkey/1.1a build produces the error. So there's a 6-week period last fall in which an error was introduced. I'm looking for the first build with the error, but downloading on dialup is slow.

Bug #184144 had a checkin on September 16, 2005, and there was discussion of bug #309510 in September but I don't see mention of any checkins for it. Both bugs are about how Mozilla/Seamonkey recognizes data encoding and handles data.

John, I'm not sure why you're trying to narrow this down, given that we know what the problem is (note that this bug is resolved...)

How is it resolved?

OK, if the discussion of bug 309510 is leading to a solution, never mind.
