90074 - during unknown size downloads, change "Ok bytes" to "Unknown" in Status field

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

spun off from bug 84410. the resulting download progress dialog for files of
unknown size currently has "OK bytes" in the Status field. it should really say
"Unknown" while the download is in process.

should the "time left" field be "unknown" as well?

spam: over to File Handling. i have not changed the assigned developer [or the
other fields for that matter], so if anyone realizes that a bug should have a
more appropriate owner, go ahead and change it. :)

Spam: Setting target milestone for all these to Future.

Please note that most, if not all, will be fixed in the course of the work I'm 
doing for bug 27609.  That fact is noted in the "depends on" field for each of 
these bugs (I think; go ahead and remedy that if you like).

I just don't have time to deal with the wrath that comes with having too many 
bugs.

My fix for bug 27609 et al does not fix this completely.  The time remaining 
says "unknown" (which is good); the status area is blank rather than "342K of 
0K bytes" (which is mediocre), and the progress meter indicates 0% (which is 
mediocre).

We need code that looks for this situation explicitly and tweaks the UI.

Someday, maybe.
