Package: w3-el-e21 Version: 4.0pre.2001.10.27-19 Severity: normal Steps to reproduce: 0) Setup privoxy or some other proxy software to run at 'proxy-host'. 1) http_proxy=http://proxy-host:3128/ emacs -nw 2) M-x browse-url-w3 RET http://www.slashdot.org
Expected results: 2) w3 should render slashdot frontpage. Actual results: 2) w3 prints "Downloading of `http://slashdot.org/' complete." and renders nothing visible to the user. To investigate the problem further I captured all traffic with tcpdump. I noticed that w3 opens only _one_ TCP connection and reuses it for the second HTTP request even though it has sent "Connection: close". That kind of reuse seems to be forbidden by RFC 2616 chapter 8.1.2.1: "If either the client or the server sends the close token in the Connection header, that request becomes the last one for the connection." Here's contents of the TCP stream decoded with ethereal: GET http://www.slashdot.org/ HTTP/1.1 MIME-Version: 1.0 Connection: close Extension: Security/Digest Security/SSL Host: www.slashdot.org Accept-charset: iso-8859-15;q=1, iso-8859-1;q=0.5, iso-8859-2;q=0.5, iso-8859-3;q=0.5, iso-8859-4;q=0.5, iso-8859-5;q=0.5, iso-8859-7;q=0.5, iso-8859-8;q=0.5, iso-8859-9;q=0.5, gb2312;q=0.5, euc-jp;q=0.5, euc-kr;q=0.5, iso-8859-14;q=0.5, big5;q=0.5, iso-2022-jp;q=0.5, koi8-r;q=0.5, shift_jis;q=0.5, utf-8;q=0.5, viscii;q=0.5, hz-gb-2312;q=0.5, iso-2022-cn-ext;q=0.5, iso-2022-cn;q=0.5, iso-2022-jp-2;q=0.5, iso-2022-kr;q=0.5 Accept: */* User-Agent: Emacs-W3/Exp URL/Exp (i486-pc-linux-gnu; TTY) HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Date: Tue, 07 Mar 2006 14:58:46 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a mod_perl/1.29 Location: http://slashdot.org/ Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 X-Pad: avoid browser bug Connection: close 12b <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>301 Moved Permanently</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>Moved Permanently</H1> The document has moved <A HREF="http://slashdot.org/";>here</A>.<P> <HR> <ADDRESS>Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.slashdot.org Port 8080</ADDRESS> </BODY></HTML> 0 GET http://slashdot.org/ HTTP/1.1 MIME-Version: 1.0 Connection: close Extension: Security/Digest Security/SSL Host: slashdot.org Accept-charset: iso-8859-15;q=1, iso-8859-1;q=0.5, iso-8859-2;q=0.5, iso-8859-3;q=0.5, iso-8859-4;q=0.5, iso-8859-5;q=0.5, iso-8859-7;q=0.5, iso-8859-8;q=0.5, iso-8859-9;q=0.5, gb2312;q=0.5, euc-jp;q=0.5, euc-kr;q=0.5, iso-8859-14;q=0.5, big5;q=0.5, iso-2022-jp;q=0.5, koi8-r;q=0.5, shift_jis;q=0.5, utf-8;q=0.5, viscii;q=0.5, hz-gb-2312;q=0.5, iso-2022-cn-ext;q=0.5, iso-2022-cn;q=0.5, iso-2022-jp-2;q=0.5, iso-2022-kr;q=0.5 Accept: */* User-Agent: Emacs-W3/Exp URL/Exp (i486-pc-linux-gnu; TTY) If-modified-since: Tuesday, 06-Mar-06 22:20:27 GMT Last bytes in hex are 00000513 64 61 79 2c 20 30 36 2d 4d 61 72 2d 30 36 20 32 day, 06- Mar-06 2 00000523 32 3a 32 30 3a 32 37 20 47 4d 54 0d 0a 0d 0a 2:20:27 GMT.... -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.29sauna Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages w3-el-e21 depends on: ii emacs21 21.4a-3 The GNU Emacs editor ii w3-url-e21 2005.10.23-5 URL library for use by w3-el-e21 Versions of packages w3-el-e21 recommends: ii mime-support 3.36-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
