Summary 0000536: Netsurf 2.7 on Google 'Failed writing body' error
Revision 2011-07-26 13:45 by Bernard Veasey
Description Over the last few weeks I have been getting the following error when visiting www.google.co.uk sometimes:

  Warning from NetSurf
  Failed writing body (0 != 249)
  Continue

When I click continue the page remains blank. When I click the Netsurf icon on the icon bar a second time, it usually works but sometimes it repeatedly fails to load with the same error every time. I have only had this error with the Google page. All other sites I have tried work OK as usual.

My telephone exchange has recently been upgraded to 21CN and my broadband connection has been upgraded to ADSL2+ a few weeks ago as well. I don't know if there is a connection but the error and upgrade both started around the same time.

I am using an Iyonix PC with RISC OS 5.16 (512MB memory) with the latest stable NetSurf 2.7
I also have a Windows PC and www.google.co.uk has never produced an error on that.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make NetSurf better.
However, I am closing it because the bug seems to have been fixed in the latest development version of NetSurf.

Please, try to reproduce this bug using the latest version. If the bug still exists, feel free to file a new report with an updated version number.

I also had this problem with the Atari port at the beginning. It was caused by an network bug within the kernel / socket API. The socket was reported to be writable right after connect(), which isn't correct - first it has to establish the TCP connection. If you write to the socket altough the connect() isn't finished. you will get exactly this error.

I have tried upgrading to the latest beta release - r12644 23 Aug 2011 - and
the problem remains. It also happens occasionally on other websites, not just Google. It goes wrong about 30 times a day for me at the moment and is a real pain.
