53470 - checkForDirectoryListing() called a bunch on every page load

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 51211

(Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

- load abcnews.com

watch the console spew hundreds of:
JavaScript strict warning: 
chrome://navigator/content/navigator.js line 1970: reference to undefined 
property window._content.HTTPIndex

warnings. Now these are harmelss, but they indicate that this js routine is being 
called hundreds of times. Is that correct? It seems like this is something that 
should only be called once, and has page loading speed impacts.

maybe this is benign, but i don't see how....

Reassign to [e-mail], do you have any idea?
This is the code you wrote for me to work around the directory listing problem.

Bill, investigate this and bug #51211, please.  Isn't this for someone in the
DOM group to fix?  I'm inclined to minus this for beta but we should investigate
the performance impact before rtm.

I suspect *all* the load listeners are being called (not just 
checkForDirectoryListing).  It just happens that you see that one 'cause of the 
strict JS thingy.

Bug 51211 seems to address the problem of those load listeners getting called 
for every image load.  I'm making this a dup of that one.  I'll also go update 
that one so the discussion of whether/how we fix it for PR3 moves over to there.
