Issue 712: Navigating away from geolocation sample crashes FF 3 in Ubuntu
http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=712
Comment #6 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I've made a http dump of the server request and response, using
wireshark. I hope
it is enough information.
Thanks. It seems that the problem is that Gears is making a GET request to
www.google.com/loc/json, rather than a POST request. Your dump doesn't
include the
HTTP bodies, but I expect this explains the malformed response from the
server.
Found something interesting - I changed the Gears settings in FF to allow
local
storage and location. Is Gears supposed to prompt me to allow these
features
access?
Yes, you should have been prompted for location permissions when you first
accessed
the page.
Anyway, when I changed the geolocation settings it allowed me to navigate
away
successfully. However, when I changed them to disallow it would break FF.
So with the permissions allowed, the page works OK? What's the result of the
geolocation request? And with the permissions denied, you get the behaviour
you
described before (crashing / malformed response)? The page should hang
on 'Getting
location ...' and you shouldn't get as far as making a network request.
Have you previously installed an unofficial version of Gears? If so, your
permissions
database could be corrupt. Try removing the Gears permissions database file
(http://code.google.com/apis/gears/gears_faq.html#whereAreFiles) and then
try the
sample application again. You should be prompted for location permissions.
Let me know how you get on.
