Description

IE has problems with textarea with large amount of contents. Is it Python / Moin's fault?

Steps to reproduce

1. Open IE, create a new page (or edit a page)
2. type in A LOT of text into the text area (or by copy and paste many many times)
3. "Save Changes"
4. IE's "Invalid syntax error"
5. click refresh, and the content is there, but IE's title will remain "Invalid syntax error" note: Firefox is not affected.

Example

#format plain
0123456789 * many many many times!

Details

Workaround

• Use the server remotely.
• Post shorter documents with IE
• Use another browser like Firefox.

Discussion

If it really happens with IE only, this is not a moinmoin bug, but maybe rather some (64KB?) limitation of IE textarea.

If you still think it is a moinmoin bug, provide more details please.

Especially, tell us if the server runs remotely or locally (127.0.0.1).

• Try to do the above steps using a remote computer which runs Windows as well and tell us if you succeed.

"bug can be reproduced with remote server running Apache/CGI and StandAlone, under Windows and Linux" -- HenryHo 2005-04-03 19:37:13

The server sends RST in another packet after it sent the last data packet in the POST request. This looks like a bug in MoinMoin.

Plan

• Priority:
• Assigned to:
• Status: Can be reproduced using Standalone on localhost, but not using Twisted on remote host.
