Created by (tenthumbs@cybernex.net) on Friday, May 1, 1998 12:43:40 PM PDT Additional Details : It looks like the problem's in NET_CleanupCacheDirectory in lib/libnet/mkcache.c. I've added some instrumentation and now I seen the following when I run mozilla for a little bit. NET_CleanupCacheDirectory cleaning "/home/10thumbs/.mozilla/cache" with prefix "cache" cleaning up cache directory of unknown cache files Got filename: 0B/cache354A190B0003806 from DBT Got filename: 0D/cache354A190D0013806.gif from DBT Got filename: 0E/cache354A190E0033806 from DBT Got filename: 0E/cache354A190E0043806.dat from DBT Got filename: 13/cache354A19130053806.html from DBT Got filename: 18/cache354A19180063806.html from DBT Got filename: 07/cache354A19270083806.htm from DBT Got filename: 0E/cache354A190E0023806.jpg from DBT Got filename: 19/cache354A19190073806.jpg from DBT XP_FileRemove fails on /19/cache354A19190073806.jpg; result=-1; errno=2 Unknown cache file /19/cache354A19190073806.jpg found! -- deleteing...

Deleting 3 unneeded cache entries Reseting number of files in cache to: 6 NET_CleanupCacheDirectory asks net_GetFilenameInCacheDBT which returns a correct relative pathname. NET_CleanupCacheDirectory then mangles it somewhere by prepending a '/' which causes XP_FileRemove to fail. This wouldn't be so bad but NET_CleanupCacheDirectory ignores the return value of XP_FileRemove and removes the filename from the cache database. Updated by (tenthumbs@cybernex.net) on Tuesday, May 19, 1998 4:54:41 AM PDT Additional Details : The internal function net_cache_recursive_file_finder doesn't work as advertised if the base_dir parameter does not end with a "/". This causes all teh problems seen later.

cache is in the process of changing pretty significantly. I am marking this for later till the new cache architecture lands.

Fine by me. You should be aware I've verified this bug in Unix browsers as far back as 2.02.

This may be an old bug...but gagan, can you confirm? Or should er retest with latest?

Changing all Networking Library/Browser bugs to Networking-Core component for Browser. Occasionally, Bugzilla will burp and cause Verified bugs to reopen when I do this in a bulk change. If this happens, I will fix. ;-)

marking this verified as later, we will re-open if it is still a problem when the new cache lands here in a couple weeks

Bulk move of all Networking-Core (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking component.

LATER is deprecated per bug 35839.

WFM per comments.
