Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; OpenVMS AlphaServer_DS10_466_MHz; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030506 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; OpenVMS AlphaServer_DS10_466_MHz; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030506 This is a OpenVMS specific problem ! The standard type of textfiles on OpenVMS are VFC files. Mozilla on OpenVMS is capable of reading and handling these files. However when I try to upload such a file (as an attachment to a bug), Bugzilla will accept the text, but Mozilla will 'wait for ever' on a confirmation. After changing the textfile to a Stream-LF file (Unix type of text file), I had no trouble uploading it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
It used to refuse to upload a VFC file. There was a bug on this. I'll dig it out. Basically the problem is that Mozilla has to know how many bytes the content is BEFORE reading the file so that it can send a valid CONTENT-HEADER first, and with VFC, the file system doesn't give us that information.
