Bug 20179 – XMLHttpRequest.abort() problem

• Component: XML
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[bugzilla33]

1. http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#abort
2. browser doesn't switch the state to DONE (4) and doesn't dispatch a readystatechange on XMLHttpRequest.abort() when:
   a) state is OPENED (1) and send() flag is "true";
   b) state is HEADERS_RECEIVED (2);
   c) state is LOADING (3).

I have read again the specification and the code. I did see a small mismatch: we check for state <= OPENED and the send flag is false instead of state == UNSENT or state == OPENED and the send flag is false. However the send() flag is false for the UNSENT state so it should be harmless.

The 3 last points are covered by a regression test (http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/LayoutTests/http/tests/xmlhttprequest/xmlhttprequest-abort-readyState-shouldDispatchEvent.html).

Could you provide us a test case or a real page that shows the bug you are mentioning? And give us all the details about your platform (WebKit revision, OS...)?

Thanks!

Resolving as INVALID, as there was no response to the above comment, and it's not clear if there is a bug to investigate here.
