Description Tim Waugh 2004-04-15 12:48:02 EDT

Description of problem:
I have found an email message (in HTML) which, when you click on the
link, causes evolution to hang.

A strace reveals that it connects to the site on port 80, sends a
PROPFIND query, and waits for a response.  There is no response, and
the GUI does not handle events any more -- evolution has to be killed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-1.4.6-1
gnome-vfs2-2.6.0-3

How reproducible:
100%, for me

Comment 1 Sean Earp 2004-04-16 01:30:27 EDT

Any particular links, so that us testers can attempt to duplicate the
problem?

-Sean :)

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2004-04-21 11:41:53 EDT

I wasn't able to isolate it to a particular URL, no.  But if you run a
data sink (which just accepts data) on port 80 perhaps you can just
point a URL at that in a message and duplicate the problem.

Comment 3 Dave Malcolm 2004-11-30 00:43:26 EST

Are you able to reproduce this with Evolution 2.0.2 (as in Fedora Core 3)

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2004-11-30 03:39:46 EST

No; I only ever saw it the once.

Comment 6 John Thacker 2006-10-29 16:49:39 EST

Going to go ahead and close this since it was never reproduced (and originally
filed against FC2 and not seen in FC3 and later).  Hope no one minds.
