Hi Jona, * Jona Ackerschott <jona....@gmail.com> [2020-10-17 09:53]:
To reproduce this bug, execute mainline surf without patches, go to 'google.com' (Exactly this, combinations of 'http(s)' or 'www' added to this can change the behaviour) and then to 'twitter.com' (Again extactly this). These sites are just one example, this also happens with other sites, mostly pretty bloated ones. You should see that 'twitter.com' is not loading and the error messages 'webext: error sending: i', 'webext: message too short: %i' (where %i is some negative integer). There is also a variation of this bug, where you find only the first error message and the page is loading in a finite amount of time.
Confirmed.
I think all this behaviour can be traced back to the fact, that the pipes are being closed to early in readpipe, because they could be needed again. A fix could be to let those pipes open during runtime and only close them in the 'cleanup' function. At least this fixes all the problems i have talked about.
Please send a patch for discussion. Cheers Jochen
