57659 - "path: (null)" in NNTP log

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 73920

(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect, P3)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

Not a rtm++ bug...:) but anyways:
I'm getting a:
"about to display newsgroups. path: (null)" in my NNTP log.
is the "null" a bad thing?
It comes from:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/mailnews/news/src/nsNNTPProtocol.cpp#2704

just wanted to know if the nulll was a bad thing. News seems to run ok.

Reporter are you still seeing this in the latest nightlies?

Comment 3

[Henrik Gemal]

still seeing this in build 200103016

It happens after I press Refresh in the subscribe dialog.

this relates to some other bugs.  I've also seen it happen on exit.

when you see this, we are trying to send "ARTICLE <" to the server.

I've got a patch in my tree to not send that bogus string to the server.

the more imporant question is why are we trying to do that?

interesting that hitting refresh causes this.  perhaps in both cases we are not 
properly closing the current connection.

the related bug is #72317

I've checked in a patch that prevents us from sending "ARTICE <".

I still need to figure out why we get into that bogus state.

Should the dupe be the other way, since it's not only in the "path:" log that 
the "null" is seen?

0[346138]: m_messageID = (null)
0[346138]: group = (null)
0[346138]: commandSpecificData = (null)
0[346138]: Receiving: (null)
