| Summary | 0002558: Timeouts when submitting data via multi-line text input icons | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Revision | 2017-09-22 01:37 by Harriet Bazley | ||
| Description | Netsurf has started failing to submit data of more than an arbitrary length (between 1300 and 1500 characters) via multi-line text input icons on the site fanfiction.net. I've observed the same behaviour on three different forms so far (submitting posts to the site forums, sending PMs and editing documents previously uploaded to the site) - the transmission simply hangs and eventually results in an "This request took too long to process, it has been timed out by the server" error. Smaller amounts of text still work as before. This is presumably the result of some change in the site coding, as it stopped working overnight and with no change to the version of Netsurf used. Issue initially observed around 7-8 August. |

| Steps To Reproduce | Log into account on http://www.fanfiction.net (luckily the login uses single-line text icons). Attempt to create a PM more than 1,485 characters long. (Official site limit is 8,000 characters.) |

| Additional Information | It apparently only affects multi-line text icons in forms. It's possible to submit much larger quantities of data using the 'Drop file here' box (input type="file"), but unfortunately it's then impossible to edit so much as one character of it afterwards! Netsurf will display twenty or thirty kilobytes of text in an editable text box, but attempting to submit the form results in another timeout. It's specific to this one site, so far at least - other sites allow the submission of much longer sections of text via multi-line text icons in forms. |
