[Bug 763839] [NEW] "sending request to..." doesn't show progress bar

[matteo sisti sette]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

When Firefox is sending a POST request (such as when you send a form),
the text "Sending request to <domainname>" appears in the status bar on
the bottom-left part of the window. However, the progress bar on the
right is shown completely empty and is not updated until the process is
complete.

This is very annoying when for example you send big files through a
form.

Firefox knows exactly the size of the request it is sending, and can
perfectly know how many bytes it has sent, so there's no reason why the
progress shouldn't be shown just as it is shown for other operations.
