Bug 37597 – [Qt] Cannot download files from websites

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: Page Loading

[Jocelyn Turcotte]

It happens often, each time I have to click the link in another browser instead.

I get it when downloading attachments from GMail. I can download xml or txt attached files, but if I try to download a bigger pdf or power point file, it hangs in Arora and the progress bar don't increase.

Trying to open the attachment in QtLauncher gives me the following message:
"Frame load interrupted by policy change"

I gets this on maybe 1/5 the files I try to download from web sites. I'll add other examples here when I encounter them.
Got this on the webkit-2.0 branch on Windows.

Raising to P1 since there is 240 P2s and I think this would benefit visibility.

Please re-lower if the problem gets revealed less critical.

Another example, try downloading the attachment from this bug report:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18461

[Jocelyn Turcotte]

The bugs seems to be present on Windows when downloading a file over https.

I tried on Linux and it works as expected both http and https.

Did you also try that on different Windows versions with probably different OpenSSL versions?

[Jocelyn Turcotte]

What is happening is that we push the encrypted bytes to OpenSSL however they never come back to Qt in some cases.

I couldn't reproduce the problem on other machines, this problem seems very local.
I'm closing it as invalid, I'll reopen if I find a real problem around this.

It would still be interesting to see the windows + OpenSSL + Qt versions you tried that it worked with.

The same as on the problematic machine: Windows7 + 0.9.8.12 + Qt 4.7 trunk
