86183 - too many connections after five articles viewed

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 74518

(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect)

Description

[guym]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-20mdksmp i686; en-US; rv:0.9.1+)
Gecko/20010615
BuildID:    2001061508

The error is "A News (NNTP) error occurred: Too Many Connections [ auth-readers
allows 5 per host/0 per feed (0 == nolimit)] (Twister v1.2.0).

Apparently it's not closing connections, not returning them to a pool or whatever.

This is the same bug as id 85739.

I am behind a firewall if that makes a difference. Same bug noticed in earlier
version (a nightly build just a few days prior to 0.9.1 release).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open mail/news reader
2. Browse a newsgroup
3. Try to read more than five messages.

I'm saving images from the messages (right-click) if that makes a difference?

Actual Results:  Error. Unable to browse any newsgroups until mozilla restarted
or a short (few minutes) period of time has elapsed.

Correction: it _is_ after five attachments are saved (Save Image from right
click menu).
