912533 - MJPEG continues to download even if tab is closed (SOCKS proxy used)

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Description

[starbrk]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130814063812

Steps to reproduce:

1. Configure Firefox to use SOCKS proxy (ssh tunnel)
2. Open MJPEG stream, like, http://127.0.0.1:8080/mjpg.cgi
3. Watch the picture and notice network traffic going in TaskManager
4. Click Stop and close the tab
5. Notice traffic is still going and going

Left to run for 10 minutes it didn't stop


Actual results:

MJPEG stream continues to download after tab is closed. You need to completely shut down Firefox process to stop it


Expected results:

Stream should stop after you click "Stop" (a cross icon in the address bar) or you close the tab with MJPEG stream

I use MJPEG stream produced by software "motion" (http://www.lavrsen.dk/) on a remote server. It's 1 fps

Not sure if this belongs in a Networking component or is related to docshell and Document Navigation, so moving to General for further triage.

Probably imagelib, actually...  unless it's the DOM setup for image documents.

replace the image url with a timestamp after this the download stop.
image.setUrl(Date.getTimestamp())


BUT!!!!!
Look on your serverside "netstat -an | grep yourClientIP" 
The conection never closed until you close your browser! 

This is my problem... and i cant complete it.
