Bug Description
Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox
Extensive debugging details are here: http://
It appears that when Firefox 3.5b4 requests a page, if it gets a 200 success with an indicated length of 588,738 bytes, but then the server sends only 2302 bytes and then closes the connection, then Firefox 3.5b4 retrieves the most recent version of this page from its cache, then *overwrites* the first 2302 (or 2304) bytes of it with the new data from the server, and then displays the resulting corrupted file to the user!
summary: |
- short read from server results in cached page with the first few bytes - overwritten by the short read result + failure message from server results in cached page with the first few + bytes overwritten by the failure message |
