From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:0.9.8+) Gecko/20020301 BuildID: 2002030108 If I use Mozilla to edit a page on Wikipedia, for example by going to <http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Wikipedia%3ASandbox&action=edit>, it someimes just sits there with the throbber going when I try to save my changes. This seems to happen on bigger pages, where small pages work fine. Editing pages using w3m from the same PC works fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit a large Wikipedia page, like <http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Wikipedia%3ASandbox&action=edit>. 2. Click Save. Actual Results: The browser appears to submit the form, but just sits there, connected to the web server, until I press the Stop button. Expected Results: After a few seconds, the edited page should appear. If it matters, I'm using Linux kernel 2.4.18-rc4, I'm behind a firewall that's doing NAT, and I believe my ISP uses CacheFlow proxies. Looking at a network trace, Mozilla doesn't seem to finish sending all the page data onto the network - the Content-Length is very close to what w3m sends, but only 75% or so of the data actually gets sent.

More info: I can't duplicate this myself with a slightly more recent build (2002030308) on Windows 2000, behind a Squid proxy, a different NAT firewall, and a different ISP's CacheFlow proxies.
Looks like this has more recently been reported as bug 130301. Exactly the same symptoms, but on a Debian system, and not on a Windows 2000 system. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 130301 ***
