44461 - cache assertion after HTTP authentication

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 29370

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

Right after logging in to any site that uses HTTP authentication, I get an
assertion about the cache:

###!!! ASSERTION: Cannot yet handle simultaneously active requests for the same
URL using different caches: 'cache == cachedData->mCache', file c:\mozilla\debug
\mozilla\netwerk\cache\mgr\nsCacheManager.cpp, line 260

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
 * go to a site that uses HTTP authentication (I can't give you an example where
I don't need to tell you my password ...), for example, the http://www.dmoz.org/
editor login or the W3C's member-only pages
 * log in

SEEN IN:
 * win98 mozilla debug build from Fri 2000-06-30

This is a long-known problem and is a dup of some other bug which I don't 
remember the number of.

-> reassigning for closing as a dup. BTW, do we have an ETA for fixing it the 
right way cuz cache is half-way useless if we don't fix this. Let me know if you 
need help with this.

I think this is a dup of 26297

Reopening, in the hopes that that's the wrong bug#.  That bug is marked 
CLOSED-WONTFIX.  I really hope this will be fixed.  We shouldn't assert all over 
the place.

Assigning the correct dup number
