Well, this closely resembles the many ftp problems being reported today.  Note
specifically bug 96418, and see if it matches description.

(duplicate? if so, mark it as such)

wfm with win2k build 20010831..

Reporter: Do you see this with a new build ?
(see also bug 97642, bug 95386)

wfm on Win98 with build 2001082909.  On Tuesday I will confirm on the machine
that originally showed the problem

Problem still exists using build 2001083103 on the machine that originally
exhibited the problem.  I looked at the other bug reports Matthias Versen
referenced in his message.  One characteristic I have in common with these
reports is that the NT machine that exhibits the problem is behind a firewall. 
The Win98 machine that does not exhibit the problem is not behind a firewall.  

It is intersting that some directories if I access them one way will work, but
accessed another way will not work.  Others do not seem to work no matter how I
access them.  For example:

OK:
     Go to ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/

Fail: 
      ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/
      Click on "redhat"

Fail:  Go to ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat

Problem still exists on my NT machine running build 2001091903.

I do not see this problem with yesterday's trunk build.  Please provide a socket
level log if possible.

ftp -> me

If its a firewall problem, its probably bug 99233. what firewall is it?

On windows, can you set the environment variable NSPR_LOG_MODULES to
nsFTPProtocol:5 and NSPR_LOG_FILE to out.file. Then start mozilla from the
console, and try this again, and attach the contents of out.file. This logging
is currently enabled in release builds for windows only.

Thats with 0.9.4? There was a fix which went in after that (bug 92582) - could
you try with a recent nightly?

Comment 12

[Bradley Baetz (:bbaetz)]

I don't see anything wrong in that log. 80004005 looks like a bogus error code
to me.

I jsut checked in a fix for bug 99233 which also had to do with firewalls.
Although the packet trace doesn't look the same as those, its possible that it
could be related.

Can you try tomorrow's nightly? If that doesn't work, then I'll need details on
the type of firewall, and so on.

[Matt Seitz]

When using build 2001092503 I no longer see the problem.  Thank you for the fix.

[Bradley Baetz (:bbaetz)]

OK then.
