I thought I had a file with html in it named: test.html I tried to open this file in Viewer but it just spun its wheels. The file actually had no data in it. To reproduce: * create a file with no data in it; name it: test.html * open this file in viewer

by the way, I don't know if any of the following are bugs today but historically, I remember seeing problems with other "special" files like: * those with only spaces in them * those with only 1 space in them * those with only blank lines (cr/lf) in them * those mislabeled as html though they have no tags in them (just text) paulmac--you may want to create some of these testcases if they don't already exist. The test cases should be run in both browser and editor modes.

any volunteers to take a first shot at this?

I remember that the whole new file stuff had problems mit empty files, but that was a while ago. This can easily be tested with TestFileInput. I will check again when I return home

Empty files in general seem to work with necko now. And this seems not to be a linux problem, no problems loading empty pages or other "special" pages with viewer.

Moving Assignee from gagan to warren since he is away.

Works for me in both viewer and apprunner.
