The XMLHttpRequest is abort()ed under Frame::stopLoading(). It's m_loader is then set to 0, but the SubresourceLoader remains in the FrameLoader's m_subresourceLoaders set, so when FrameLoader::stopLoadingSubresources() is called, the SubresourceLoader is canceled and XMLHttpRequest::didFinishLoading() is called.

One possible fix is for XMLHttpRequest::abort() to get call the obtain the SubresourceLoader's FrameLoader and call its removeSubresourceLoader() method. However, currently ResourceLoader::frameLoader() is Mac-only...

That was nonsense.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Fixed by Brady in r17637 (but this could still use a test case if we can make one). Closing for now.

[Brady Eidson]

Its true I fixed the assertion failure earlier today, but it was a bandaid.  I'm about to propose a much better bandaid (notice, still a bandaid)  stay tuned!

[Brady Eidson]

Mitz and I think that if XMLHttpRequest::didFinishLoading() is called after an abort that the method should immediately bail and not do any state change (and therefore notifications)

With the fix I have and the layout test I've constructed, that is the case.  However, running my layout test with shipping safari shows we *do* get the state change notifcation from 1 to 4 (loading to complete)

It may be a problem in my layout-testing methodology, I'll double check that now...

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

I worries me that didFinishLoading() is even called after an abort() - could this cause problems when the XMLHttpRequest object is reused? I.e., something like
req.send(...);
req.abort();
req.open(...);
req.send(...);
// didFinishLoading() gets called twice.

[Brady Eidson]

didFinishedLoading() seems to be called after the abort because the frame is being torn down.

The process of nuking the frame calls abort() then didFinishLoading()

Patch + layout test

This a shot...  the code fix is pretty simple.  I will have commentary to follow, though, on whether its the right result and I'll ask Maciej to take a look

Results from 3 different WebKits

Basically, we have three different possible results for my layout test - ToT was already different from shipping WebKit, but my code change makes it different still.  I'd like Maciej to take a look at this

Mitz please verify at your leisure ;)  (which, in my experience, will probably by like 3 seconds after I commit this comment to the bug)
