[Bug 382444] [NEW] short read from server results in cached page with the first few bytes overwritten by the short read result

[Zooko O'Whielacronx]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

Extensive debugging details are here:
http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/698 # corrupted file displayed to
user after failure to download followed by retry

It appears that when Firefox 3.5b4 requests a page, if it gets a 200
success with an indicated length of 588,738 bytes, but then the server
sends only 2302 bytes and then closes the connection, then Firefox 3.5b4
retrieves the most recent version of this page from its cache, then
*overwrites* the first 2302 (or 2304) bytes of it with the new data from
the server, and then displays the resulting corrupted file to the user!

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
