80845 - Page returns a Cookie, but status reads "Transferring data from..." forever

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 39310

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[mdimitrio]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (Win98; U)
BuildID:    2001051004

This link returns this header:

HTTP/1.1 204
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 01:46:53 GMT
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/html
Set-Cookie: Tim=Gray; path=/
Set-Cookie: ASPSESSIONIDGGGGQHNC=GLDMOFLAJHPFDEIHMBGJDMGF; path=/
Cache-control: private

The browser should set the cookie, and it sets the cookie, but never updates the 
status bar, which reads "Transferring data from 216.62.61.218".

If you access the site again, then you'll see "AHA!".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL

Actual Results:  The cookie is set fine. Which is good, but status bar doesn't 
change accordingly

Expected Results:  Status bar say: "Document: Done"

We probably never update because we don't get any data....

Yes, we get, it's the setting of the cookie. Every other browser tested (IE5.0,
Opera 5.11, NS 4.77) sets the cookie and stops. Mozilla seems to still look for
something (by not updating the status). Although it sets the cookie correctly,
it doesn't seem finished (status bar indicates still working state), so the user
feels he should wait, when he actually doesn't have to.

Oops, sorry, I didn't see the "> Content-lenght".

You're right, there's no content. Mozilla should be prepared to this.
