903171 - Websocket closed when a custom URL Scheme is clicked by a user

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 896666

(Core :: Networking: WebSockets, defect)

Description

[pothibo]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130730113002

Steps to reproduce:

1. Have a websocket running
2. Custom URL Scheme registered to a native application (OS X, but possibly on other platform)
3. Click on the link with the custom URL




Actual results:

The connection to ws://localhost:8080/ was interrupted while the page was loading. @ http://localhost:3000/assets/sessions.js?body=1:4

On the server side, I received the close instruction:
:message_received, :close, "\x03\xE9"


Expected results:

Close command should not be received since I'm still on the same page. The custom URL Scheme is to initialize a response from the websocket.

This works as expected under Chrome & Safari
