I've thought about this before, especially in regards to Bug 3416 (Scroll bars are sometimes not updated properly).
http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3416 Could you add A LOT spaces or NULL characters (ctrl-@, I think) to the body of the document to "simulate" a timeout when the browser is loading the page from the filesystem? You might have to put an awful lot of them in to simulate a timeout, but at least the HTML document would compress well. (The difference, though, would be that the browser was continually getting input even though it had nothing to render, versus a network timeout where nothing is coming in.) Otherwise, a small HTTP server (Jetty anyone?) would have to be added to the test suite to provide a "realistic" server response, in which case you could create an artificial "timeout" as needed). Jetty is licensed under the Apache License Version 2.0, so I don't think it'd be a big issue.) http://jetty.mortbay.org/ Dave On Tue, Jun 21, 2005 at 10:41:45PM +0300, Mitz Pettel wrote: > I have encountered a bug that occurs on a certain page only sometimes > and only when it's loaded via HTTP (i.e. not when opened as a > webarchive).
