73928 - Redirects from MS Exchange -> Segfault

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Duncan]

This follows on from (and hopefully clarifies) bug 73691.

Attempting to log in to a Microsoft Exchange server (AKA Outlook Web Access)
normally involves following several redirects during which the server checks for
a you're-logged-in-already cookie.

Testing under Linux 2.4.2 (RedHat 7.0-ish), the following URLs fail to load a page:

http://webmail.umsystem.edu/exchange/
http://officeserver.cnpt.net/exchange/
http://email.wpunj.edu/exchange/
https://webmail.mitchell.com/exchange/

Sample error message:

Document http://webmail.umsystem.edu/exchange/ loaded successfully
Error loading URL http://webmail.umsystem.edu/exchange/logon.asp: 804b0002


Provided the window in question is the only one open, clicking the close gadget
causes mozilla to segfault.

/home/duncan/moztest/mozilla-032821/run-mozilla.sh: line 72: 5837 Segmentation
fault $prog ${1+"$@"}


I can't get talkback.xpi to install for this build and unfortunately don't have
time to build from CVS today (sorry). Problem is also present in 2001032817
under WinNT, causing Dr Watson to wet himself.

Should have mentioned that if you manually go to the logon.asp page, it loads OK
and you can log in and use Exchange.  Hence this is no longer a critical bug for
us poor Exchange users ;-)

This is probably a more generic redirect problem in necko land, maybe even a
regression due to the new cache n' what not...

Hmmmm...  The segfault is not reproducible in 2001040414 (Linux) or yesterday's
Win32-talkback build, but I don't get the impressions it's happy.  Here's what
happens during login:

I'm now getting new crashes during use.  Content is rendered to wrong frames,
then it goes bang.  Hope to see a Talkback-enabled Linux nightly soon.
