From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:0.9.4+) Gecko/20010911 BuildID: 2001091121 We rely on the URL given to function, and since Mozilla locks it solid, please contact me before trying it so I can stand by to restart it. When any type of request for a page is sent from Mozilla for MacOS X to Filemaker Pro for MacOS 9, Filemaker Pro locks up and has to be manually restarted (using a "Force Quit" and sometimes corrupting the databases). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Steps to reproduce: 0. Contact me jpd@TeachX.rutgers.edu and agree on a time so I can restart the server (I have to be in the room to do the three-finger salute) 1. Go to http://TeachX.rutgers.edu/ecs/ using Mozilla for MacOS X, "Fizilla"(there is a javascript that will redirect you, so turn off javascript first - I will remove this once we move our databases to another server). Even better, set up your own Filemaker Pro 5.5 database running on MacOS 9.1, and turn on sharing through the "Web Companion" and crash your own machine. :-) 2. Do a search or click the link for "All Enhanced Rooms" Actual Results: Nothing. Mozilla will wait patiently for a response, however it will never receive one because Filemaker Pro 5.5 has crashed and needs to be restarted. Expected Results: You should see the search results without crashing the server. I have reproduced this on two separate Mac OS X machines (a G4 running Mozilla 20001091121 and a G3 running several earlier builds of 0.9.3) It does not matter if you submit a form using POST or follow a link, any attempt at all to access a web page served by Filemaker Pro 5.5 for MacOS 9 crashes Filemaker Pro. Only Fizilla seems to be affected. The problem does not occur with Mozilla 0.9.3 for Windows 98 or with Netscape 6.1 for Windows 98. I am reporting the problem simultaneously to Filemaker where it really needs to be fixed as a Denial of Service vulnerability.
Reporter, please double-check that Fizzilla build ID of 2001091121. There is no Mac OS X build in [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2001-09-11-21-trunk/].

It definitely says "2001091121" in the title bar. The "About Mozilla" page is missing the final two digits, and the "Get Info" box shows a creation date of "Sep 11, 2001, 11:18 PM" However, there is something under http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2001-09-11-20-trunk/
Reporter, try making a minimal (but still valid and well-formed) HTML page and see if it still crashes. Also, try accessing a file of type other than HTML and see if it still happens. Also, try at least one other Mac OS X browser.

Neither Omniweb 4.03 or Internet Explorer 5.1.1 Preview trigger the crash. Pointing Mozilla to a very simple HTML document (attached) still causes Filemaker Pro to crash, as does pointing it to a gif.

sdagley, pink, smfr, can one of you look at this?

As I read this bug the Mac that crashes is the server running FMpro, not the Mac running Mozilla. Smacks of a buffer overflow problem. That's really an issue for Claris (or do they just call themseles Filemaker these days? And when did FMpro become a web server?) to solve. Since AFAIK nobody here has FMPro it's not like we've got much chance of debugging w/o jpd sitting there as we repeatedly crash his server. if somebody can come up with a contact at Claris/Filemaker I'd be happy to help them debug this.

One thing to do here would be to run Interarchy's Traffic Watching feature on either the machine sending the request, or on the machine running FileMaker, and compare traffic for the Fizilla and non-Fizilla queries. I really think this is a problem at the FileMaker end; it shouldn't crash, even if the browser sends garbage.

Confirmed using Fizzilla/2001091313 (0.9.4). Accessing [http://picard2.rutgers.edu/test.html] causes the server to crash. Accessing the same URL with Mac IE 5.1b1 (3408) for OS X does not cause a crash.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW

We need to see what data is being received by FileMaker. Can we arrange to run Interarchy with traffic watching on the FileMaker machine?

This appears to be a problem with FileMaker Pro and the "Accept-Encoding:" header. 4.x sends Accept-Encoding: gzip and Mozilla sends: Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, compress;q=0.9 If I change the Mozilla networking prefs to send "gzip", it doesn't crash. BTW, I saw the crash with classic builds of Mozilla. Full headers (from stream transcript): 4.x: Send data (295 bytes). <00000000< GET /default.htm HTTP/1.0 <0000001B< Connection: Keep-Alive <00000033< User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 (Macintosh; U; PPC) <00000061< Pragma: no-cache <00000073< Host: 208.12.38.156 <00000088< Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, <000000C5< image/png, */* <000000D5< Accept-Encoding: gzip <000000EC< Accept-Language: en <00000101< Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1,*,utf-8 Mozilla: <00000000< GET /default.htm HTTP/1.1 <0000001B< Host: 208.12.38.156 <00000030< User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.4+) <0000006E< Gecko/20010919 <0000007E< Accept: text/xml, application/xml, application/xhtml+xml, <000000B8< text/html;q=0.9, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif;q=0.2, <000000F1< text/plain;q=0.8, text/css, */*;q=0.1 <00000118< Accept-Language: en-us <00000130< Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, compress;q=0.9 <00000160< Accept-Charset: <00000172< Keep-Alive: 300 <00000183< Connection: keep-alive

This is definately a FM Pro bug, and there is a workaround (set the "Accept- Encoding" pref in Mozilla). There is nothing we can do to fix this.

Changing OS from Mac OS X cause it clutters up my query. I'd change other fields but there doesn't seem to be a FileMaker component in Bugzilla :-)
