I cannot reproduce this bug with Qt 4.6 trunk + Qt Webkit trunk. Nor with the webkit of Qt 4.6 trunk. The bug has probably be fixed since the 4.6.0 tag.

Could you try with the last version of Webkit/Qt?

[David T. L. Wong]

Which repository/branch/tag are you referring to? It's better if you guide me to a link.

I just tried WebKit.org svn trunk r51985 qt build, but still experiencing the same problem.

The problem is not being seen from every gmail user/configuration.
I have one colleague's account experience the logout problem, but another colleague's account doesn't.

And time clicking "Sign out" link is somewhat important too.
It is likely to crash if waiting all things loaded, especially the friend list of chat block of google talk on the left.

What I found is
1. It enter sendResponseIfNeeded()
2. It enter last if(redirection.isValid()) block, m_resourceHandle is still valid
3. It execute "client->willSendRequest", m_resourceHandle is staill valid before entering willSendRequest()
4. Some callback trigger QNetworkReplyHandler::abort() and reset m_resourceHandle to Nil
5. Back to sendResponseIfNeeded(). Null pointer access when executing newRequest.toNetworkRequest(m_resource->getInternal()->m_frame);


I do believe it is a real bug that need to be fixed.
I tried qt 4.6.0, webkit.org svn trunk at 20 Oct 2009, all experience this problem.

call trace that showing QNetworkReplyHandler::abort() is called within
QNetworkReplyHandler::sendResponseIfNeeded(). m_resourceHandle is reset to nil which cause the segmentation fault.

I cannot reproduce it, but given the last trace, the bug is valid.

Simon fixed this in r29515 but r50454 introduced a regression by changing:
-    m_request = r.toNetworkRequest();
+    m_request = r.toNetworkRequest(m_resourceHandle->getInternal()->m_frame);

Great as always Benjamin! :-)

Btw, could you look into adding a layout test for this?

It is possible to write a autotest for it, but it would require mocking the network stack (we need a correct loading, then redirection, then a failure in the middle of the redirection).

The work is not worth it, we probably need a general way of simulating network problem to do this kind of tests.

[Kenneth Rohde Christiansen]

Maybe we should create a JIRA task for that?
