Summary0000435: Status bar reports >100% of file received
DescriptionUsing NetSurf test build (29 Jan 2006 12:30).
Bug observed on both Iyonix (RISC OS 5.10) and Risc PC (RISC OS 4.39).
Often I have noticed that the percentage received of a file (as reported in NetSurf's status bar) exceeds 100%, at which point the value becomes meaningless.

This is presumably because the original estimation of the file size was incorrect; e.g. "Received 21.87 kB of 40.00 B (55982%)".

For all I know this is a server-side problem, but it happens with tiresome regularity. Even if NetSurf is not at fault, it would be nicer if the total size and percentage received were replaced by "?" when the no. of bytes received exceeds the supposed file size; e.g. "Received 21.87 kB of ?".

I attach a screenshot showing the phenomenon.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make NetSurf better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest NetSurf build? Thanks in advance.

Just as a note, this is not a problem with the GTK version (since we do not display % received).

This bug is definitely still around because I noticed it today with the 23 Mar 2007 22:45 test build of NetSurf. It is much more noticeable with a slow internet connection (which is why I hadn't seen it for a while). This is on my Risc PC with RISC OS 6.

I have attached a screen shot of NetSurf's status bar (15937% received). At the time I was navigating through a usenet discussion in Google groups:

One that I never got round to reporting. It seems to be on a redirect. Try

and then click on 'Today's Bugs' in the LH nav.

To elaborate, I have repeatedly observed something similar to the following sequence of status messages when opening BBC news web pages from Darren Salt's News Ticker:

Opening document...
Received 0.00 B
Received 225.00 B of 225.00 B (100%)
Received 0.00 B of 225.00 B
...
Received 15.35 kB of 225.00 B (10220%)
Processing document
Formatting document
Loading 16 objects
...

It looks as though NetSurf is receiving two separate files, the first 225.00 B in size and the second file much larger. I wonder if the problem could be that the total file size is not reset after receipt of the first file?

I've never seen this problem. Could you give some URLs
which show it?
 
Thanks
