For some reason we are no longer seeing the message displayed originally by the fix for Bug #729329. Instead we see "Server returned FAILURE with no error message" Test Note: can try this by 1) start server 2) connect a browser session note - test all supported browser types 3) log in and go to global dashboard 4) stop server 5) either wait for auto refresh or force a portlet refresh Ensure a proper message is displayed, indicating the server is probably down.
master commit c1d401ff6c2b495cb599dfb66e0dd157b6442614 More recent versions of Firefox, and possibly other browsers, have changed the request's response code in this situation. Added updated handling. Also, fixed an I18N issue.
Bulk closing of items that are on_qa and in old RHQ releases, which are out for a long time and where the issue has not been re-opened since.
