918181 - Firefox improperly displays multipart/x-mixed-replace content

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 907575

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Mark Dominus]

Attachment: screenshot.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130911164256

Steps to reproduce:

Visit http://plover.com/~mjd/swatch.html .  Look at the graphic in the center at the top of the page.  


Actual results:

It is supposed to display a picture of an analog clock with four hands, which is updated every five seconds.

Instead, every five seconds, Firefox replaces the previous picture with a "broken image" icon, and then replaces the "broken image" icon with the updated image.  A screenshot is attached.


Expected results:

The successive frames of the image should be displayed one after the other, with each one replacing the previous one when it has been received, and with no intervening icons.h

This bug is related to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=907490 .

Perhaps I should also add that this worked properly under  Mozilla in June 1999, and it also works with current versions of Chrome.
