Package: iceweasel Version: 16.0~b6-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
There is a problem with Iceweasel when using jquery ajax load requests and the access is cross-origin. This problem occurs at least with iceweasel 10.0.7, 16.* on Debian and Firefox 15.* on Windows. It's almost certainly an upstream problem. With a standard bit of jquery javascript like: $.ajax({ url: http://example.site/ it works fine with local origin but fails when the url is on a different server from original request. If the CORS server allows cross-origin requests by sending the header: "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" or "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://example.site" then the ajax load access repeates indefinately (i.e. infinite loop) - until the browser page is closed. The server responds with http return code 200 for each access. ( FYI No such problem occurs when using Chrome with same script. Opera doesn't seem to support CORS at all :-) . ) Also when Access-Control-Allow-Origin is not enabled iceweasel/firefox fails properly with an error but the error reported is undefined (i.e. no information, error type etc.).
