763557 - nsIStreamListener::onStartRequest sometimes triggered with an undefined status

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Wolfgang Sourdeau]

I am using an async HTTP connection for posting data to a CGI. With CGI responsing correctly with a status of 200, it happens that the onStartRequest method of my listener is invoked with a "aRequest" parameter of which the "status" element is undefined.

My current solution is to currently to use this at the beginning of my method:

while (typeof(aRequest.responseStatus) == "undefined");

and it works. But it is a poor hack for a problem that I would think is a thread synchronization issue in the network code...

Sorry, this was due to the fact that sometimes the "aRequest" object is passed via its nsIHttpChannel interface and sometimes not.

Ahhh, XPCOM!
