765618 - nsILoadGroup.requests are not always nsIRequest

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 896666

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[jari.bakken]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_4) AppleWebKit/536.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/20.0.1132.27 Safari/536.11

Steps to reproduce:

The docs for nsILoadGroup (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XPCOM_Interface_Reference/nsILoadGroup) appear to guarantee that the "requests" attribute will return an enumerator of type nsIRequest, but it seems the iterator may in some cases also include WebSockets.

See http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=3686 for the original bug report against WebDriver's FirefoxDriver.



Expected results:

I'm not sure if this is bug in the docs or in the code.

A WebSocket is an nsIRequest... on the c++ side.

On the JS side it hides all the non-DOM bits, of course.  That's arguably a bug; it should use a shim to do the nsIRequest bits.  Or not have them at all, of course; I think the fact that websockets are in the loadgroup at all is a bug, possibly already filed.

Correct, that's bug 896666.
