52503 - bugzilla long format cannot be saved to html files

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Bernd]

1. Search bugzilla to get a short list of bugs :-D Even one is enough.
2. select long format to display the content of the bugs.
3. Save the file to disk
4. Reload the file from disk

Result: only the logo and one header line is displayed
expected result: the whole bug content should be visible.

This is some sort of dogfood for me. I use the Nav4.6 as a workaround.

I see this now with debug build from 20000911 under Win98 but cannot remember
that this has ever worked (so m15-18).

dup of law's bugs?

My first guess is that this would have been fixed with the form post data fix 
(part of bug 39957) I checked in yesterday.  But no.  It doesn't work in today's 
build, either.

I'll investigate.  Nominating for nsbeta3, since that's where prior, similar 
bugs were.

nav triage team:
nsbeta3-
If you want a plus, find other pages with this problem 

Comment 4

John Morrison suggested that this is likely due to the fact that bugzilla 
returns multi-part mime encoded results.  That funkiness must be confusing 
either session history or other code so that it confused about what URL is 
really to be saved, or loses the form post data that must be submitted with it.

Presuming this to be the case, the problem should be relatively rare (outside of 
Bugzilla) and relatively difficult to fix.  [nsbeta3-] sounds right to me.

Adding 4xp keyword as Nav46 does this right and  this bug is really a dogfood 
for me because the bug makes it impossible to use mozilla for offline bug 
screening.  May be this is not dogfood for PDT. 
For me the bug is quite bizarre. It makes clear that mozilla is not able to 
handle even mozilla.org.

This got fixed somewhere along the way.  The underlying code is now better at
handling the multi-part mime content that bugzilla is generating, it seems.
