(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[david.rickard]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When attempting to persist to a non-existent FTP folder, success is reported, when it should report failure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a nsIWebBrowserPersist object and tell it to persist an item to an ftp:// url. The server and login should be correct, but enter a non-existent folder to persist to.
2. Attach a nsIWebProgressListener.
3. Execute the persist and look in the onStateChange function. Check the aStatus variable when aStateFlags contains STATE_STOP.
Actual Results:  
Result is reported as NS_OK.

Expected Results:  
An error should be reported instead, because the persist failed.
