httpfox - issue #20

"Content" tab issues NS_ERROR_DOCUMENT_NOT_CACHED on all POST/GET in nightly FF3 builds : (


Posted on May 10, 2008 by Happy Cat

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Get the Firefox 3 Nightly build (tested with Gecko/2008051006) 2. Run any POST or GET request 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? expected the "Content" tab to display the responseXML/responseText, it displays "Error loading content (NS_ERROR_DOCUMENT_NOT_CACHED)"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008051006 Minefield/3.0pre

Please provide any additional information below. hopwe this is an easy fix :) very sad to have found it to replace bulky Firebug to find out it doesnt work :(.

please check the following firefox preferences: (this can be done with the "about:config" url)

1) browser.cache.disk.enable make sure this is set to "true" (default: true)

2) browser.cache.memory.enable make sure this is set to "true" (default: true)

3) network.http.use-cache make sure this is set to "true" (default: true)

4) browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl setting this to "true" should help getting the content of https requests. it is deactivated by default for security reasons. (default: false) (see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl)

I am using the Web Developer add-on and had its Disable Caching option turned on, which was the reason these settings were user configured rather than at the defaults, so watch for that.

Add me to this long list of people... This happens for any jQuery AJAX call with me.

Thank you pappkamerad!

I have looked at those settings, and they are all still at their defaults as described in Comment #1.

Yep, agree, it is reproduced for me too sometimes. I've checked the settings and they all have default values but still receiving the same error. FF 3.0.17

Where I'm seeing this happen is with jQuery as it receives an ajax result which immediately triggers a redirect based on that ajax result before the browser gets time to acknowledge the response and have it passed to the browser for rendering. Example: a login-form passed by ajax-post which responds with 'success' so jQuery triggers a move to the next page.

Firefox 3.6.3, HttpFox 0.8.4

I too am having the same issue, has anyone found a solution to this yet?

Happens on normal form submissions, and with jQuery as well. Works sometimes, but just freezes most of the time...

Same issue i am facing. Working well with chrome and ie. But Mozilla 3.6.3 is creating the same error as mentioned above

I do encounter this error after downloads followed by HTTP post requests even on Firefox installations without HttpFox. Hence, I think it is not a error of HttpFox but of Firefox.

I had been sporadically encountering this error since Firefox 3, but regularly/always since Firefox 8 or 9 (not sure). I am using Firefox 10.0.2 at the moment.
