(Whiteboard: [PDT+] 11/26/99)

This is a spinoff of bug 8088 (see there for verification details), where you seem to have fixed the symptoms more than the cause (although preventing crashes is definitely good). If you repeat the procedure given in that bug (preferably on a slow connection), you see (in the status bar in viewer) that the stylesheets continue loading even after the document load has stopped. This is needless network traffic, and is especially bad over modems. You should really stop the stylesheet loading when the document load is stopped or the document is left.
Most likely a networking bug. Stopping document load should stop all loads in the same nsILoadGroup (which the style sheet loads are in). I'll wait until Necko lands and re-verify then.

Whiteboard: should test over a modem connection
The problem is indeed very noticeable over a modem connection but it is not limited to the loading of style sheets: it happens with anything loaded from the HTML page, like images for instance. Here is a page that should show the problem on a fast connection too: http://www.EVCL.com/halloween99/ You can use any rudimentary TCP utility (like MacTCP Watcher on the Mac) to display the TCP traffic and the list of open connections. If you click the Stop button, the page stops loading but the network traffic continues: connections are established, used to transfer data then closed and new connections are established etc... exactly as if it was continuing to load all the images. Changed component to Necko, platform to All and summary to "Stop button doesn't stop network traffic" from "stylesheet loading continues after document gone"

I think rpotts has a dup somewhere. Although this may look like 3469 I would let him decide if this is something he fixed recently.

I've tried this on Win32 using a slow connection (ricochet) and do not see this behavior... When I hit the Stop button, all of the open transports close down and no new connections are established... Is this still happening on the Mac? I don't have a Mac to test it on... Pierre can you let me know if this is still a problem... thanks, -- rick

I just tried this on the Mac and don't see the problem. Clicking stop stops loading the images.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
I confirm that it's fixed: the TCP connections are closed after clicking Stop. Marking Verified.
