We used a form-based submission program to update files. If mozilla is used to upload files, they do upload, but become corrupted. This is present in the daily builds, and has been for a couple weeks now. I've been neglecting to report this, because I thought perhaps forms were a known problem, but I haven't been able to find anything out about this.

This sounds like a serious bug. Can you please give more details? For example, attach a file that you saw was corrupted, or give information on how big the file was (number of bytes) or what type of data it contained (binary vs. text - strange charactesr in the file name? Is there any specific site that you saw this behaviour on? Thanks!

Upping severity to CRITICAL since if this is confirmed it means that bugzilla attachments will be affected. Recommend that you don't use mozilla to upload your attachment nhubbard@tucows.com :)

Updating QA contact.

Confirming. Linux build 2000092710 and other recent Linux builds. Bug 54481 has more information on this problem as well. Looks like it happens on win32 as well. IMNSHO we need to P1 this See the following buzilla attachments that have been corrupted by Mozilla http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=15703 (bug 54472) and http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=15071 (bug 53318)

eric, I am assigning this over to you, because you have more experience in this area

bug 54081 has more detailed information on this bug (the two are probably the same; Eric I suggest you close one of your preference as a dup). in 54081 I looked at exactly where the trashing is (there is a pattern). Also, in the Win32 daily from yesterday, it worked ok. I'm going to retest with FreeBSD now.

ok, for sure this time

Adding dataloss, dogfood, nsbeta3. I suggest this one for nsbeta3++. Has anyone tested this under win32? My Win32 system is unstable today.

My two cents: This bug has been around since at least 2000-09-09, and it definitely worked before that.

This is the same as 54081 which is marked dogfood+. Eric, you may want to look at 54081 and decide if this should be you or gagan, and forms or networking. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 54081 ***
