From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913 BuildID: 2001091311 I submitted some files via an HTTP POST on a web site form and mozilla appears to have created temporary files containing the whole MIME contents of the POST request in my $TMPDIR. However, these formpost files are not cleaned up after successful form submission. I only see formpost files containing file uploads, not other forms. the web site in question was password protected but not using ssl. (sorry, form data and website are private i can't give an example) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. find a website using http file uploads 2. fill out the form, select a few files 3. submit the form 4. exit mozilla 5. notice the formpost files leftover in your $TMPDIR Actual Results: 5. notice the formpost files leftover in your $TMPDIR Expected Results: no formpost files should be left around. this bug is of privacy and disk space concern. it doesn't delete its temporary files that contain a record of what was submitted on a form. IMHO, these files should -never- be written to disk to begin with. If you -really- need temporary storage to submit a form with http file uploads; at least unlink the file after creating and opening it so that when your last open reference to its filehandle goes away the file disappears at well. streaming the uploaded files direct from disk would be preferred.
