99913 - pages fail to load fully with WWWOFFLE (reload)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Marko Macek]

With 0.9.4 I am having problems when using the WWWOFFLE Offline Cache (on linux).

When I try to load a new page from the URL (or do shift+reload), I only get a
partial page loaded. 

If I just reload (from cache), I get the entire page from the WWWOFFLE cache.

Things are fine in 0.9.3.

darin, see bug 86327, which eventually ends up at a bug you marked fixed. Not
sure if its related, though

if you are offline how can you possibly expect to be able to fetch a new page?

Comment 3

[Marko Macek]

I guess I was not clear enough. I have these problems when online. No problems
when offline and working from cache only.

I also have mozilla set to HTTP/1.0 and it makes no difference.

Comment 4

[Darin Fisher]

ok.. makes sense... is there a link where i can get a copy of WWWOFFLE?  is it
free software?

WWWOffle is a proxy that can be switched offline. It then delivers cached pages
or error messages, nothing to do with Mozilla's cache or offline mode.

I have the same problem, only with Mozilla (0.9.4, tried NS4) and only with
wwwoffle (2.5 and 2.6d, tried squid). If you hit reload a few times every page
loads.

Observation: It seems to me that all affected pages had complicated layouts and
a lot of JS in their header.

-> future

need help setting up a testcase, or... reporter can you please generate a http
log of your session?

I attached two logs. the "offline" one is the one where everything is fine. When
"online" the page is truncated.

The URL used is "http://www.atlasf1.com/bb/index.php". But the problem shows
itself on other pages too, including http://freshmeat.net.

I had HTTP Version set to 1.0 with keep-alive and pipelining disabled.

[Tobias Weber]

Attachment: Failure and success with HTTP 1.1, keepalive, no pipelining

Comment 12

[Tobias Weber]

To get a log I additionally had to use the modules sync and bufsize, otherwise
Mozilla would leave the file empty: export NSPR_LOG_MODULES="nshttp:5, sync:1,
bufsize:0"

get mozilla start page
get http://www.webwriting-magazin.de/webwriting/stangl.shtml
get and post to switch wwwoffle offline
get stangl.shtml again just see wwwoffle's error message "client closed the
connection while online => nothing cached"

Of 10 attempts over two days pages on that site never fully loaded. Google works
most of the time, but when it doesn't all that helps is "no proxy". Everything
else is usually ok, at least after one Alt-R.

I'm "not authorized to edit attachements". Well, then somebody else might want
to correct the mime type from octet-stream to x-gzip :-)

some info from bug 109056

this bug occurs in 2.6d but not for 2.7beta for me.
(for the reporter it occurs 2.6d and 2.7 seems to be totally broken for him)

after testing, it seems the configuration option
reply-compressed-data = yes
fixes the problem although it's not clear whether it's a bug in the proxy or
mozilla ... (most likely proxy)

Comment 18

[Peter Bergt]

the wwwoffle option "reply-compressed-data = yes" reduces the troubles 
(but there are even problems with google; for using google here only filtering
out javascript helps)
as mentioned in Bug 197892 this happens now with css, too
I have not had this problems with earlier versions of mozilla (I guess it was
before mozilla 1.3)
using the debug of wwwoffle shows a connection, close and reconnection for the
same address by mozilla (imho this explains why the page is only loaded partially)
using other browsers everything works fine

Comment 19

[Rolf Leggewie]

Is this still a problem?  Last comment is about four years old.

Comment 20

[Tobias Weber]

I suppose Mozilla is still broken but nobody uses wwwoffle anymore...

Please reopen if this still happens
