45873 - Progress window fails to appear

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 44176

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Igor]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i686; en-US; m17) Gecko/20000718
BuildID:    2000070810

After clicking on the main header/link to download the file and selecting save
to disk none of the standard progress or save to location dialogs appear.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the above URL
2.left-click on the main header download link
(libglade-0.11-1 RPM for i386)
3.When the Downloading dialog appears select "Save to disk" and hit OK

Actual Results:  I've had two different things happen when I do this.
After left-clicking on OK either:
1 A dialog appears entitled "Enter name of file to save to".  Clicking ok makes
the box disappear but the Downloading box remains and the download progress
dialog box does not appear and the file does not download.

or

2. Clicking OK on the Downloading dialog seems to cause something to start
downloading as my internet connection immediately begins transmitting a lot of
data.  But neither the "Enter a name of file to save to disk" dialog nor the
downloading progress dialog appears.

Expected Results:  After clicking ok on the Downloading Box the "Enter a name of
file to save to disk" should appear, the user should hit OK after which the
downloading progress box should appear and the file should download

Why does this Downloading dialog come up instead of the standard
"Unknown File Type" what do you want to do dialog?  The file is an rpm
from an ftp connection similar to the http download here

http://www.monmouth.com/~compwiz/rpms/

which has simlar behavior to the .tar.gz the mozilla download here

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/

both of which use the "Unknown File Type" what do you want to do dialog.

The only major difference seems to be that this one is specifically
linking to an ftp connection.  Notice the link itself starts with ftp:// :

ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/redhat-6.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/libglade-0.11-1.i386.rpm

Using RedHat 6.2 kernel version 2.2.14-50

I'm seeing this with CVS from the afternoon of 07/19 (getting result #1). Here's
the stuff that gets spewed to the console:

JavaScript error:
 line 0: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) [nsIHelperAppLauncher.saveToDisk]"
nsresult: "0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://global/content/helperAppLauncher.js :: anonymous :: line 102"  data: no]
