0x804b001e [nsIDNSService.resolve]


SeaMonkey 1.1.17, NoScript 1.9.5.6

Had been browsing around (looking at luntrus's links), went to open a link, got busy cursor & then eventually the expected page did not open, instead (message which I did not note).

Tried a couple more links, they too did not respond.

Checked my modem & all lights green.

Error Console showed these consecutive messages, with the NoScript item repeated twice. The first error, 0x80004005, may be fairly common?

[NoScript XSS] xss.reason.[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x804b001e [nsIDNSService.resolve]"  nsresult: "0x804b001e (<unknown>)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://noscript/content/DNS.js :: anonymous :: line 195"  data: no] --- undefined

Opened a new instance of SeaMonkey & that did work.

Then retried the links I didn't connect on before, & they & subsequent links have now also worked.

The NoScript XSS message is an artifact of the DNS resolution having failed (host not found).
The bug is the "Host not found" error page not being displayed, and I'm fixing it.

More, in case it helps (& it looks like it may well have been a <DSL loosing connection> issue on my end) ...

When this message is generated:

Code: Select all

[NoScript XSS] xss.reason.[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x804b001e [nsIDNSService.resolve]"  nsresult: "0x804b001e (<unknown>)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://noscript/content/DNS.js :: anonymous :: line 195"  data: no] --- undefined

... the page (that finally) "loads" (at least the Location Bar shows the expected URL), is in reality nothing. The status bar simply shows, "Stopped".

At other times - with no NoScript message generated, these will come up instead:

Code: Select all

Address Not Found

forum.orbitdownloader.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again.

The browser could not find the host server for the provided address.

    * Did you make a mistake when typing the domain? (e.g. ww.mozilla.org instead of www.mozilla.org)
    * Are you certain this domain address exists?  Its registration may have expired.
    * Are you unable to browse other sites?  Check your network connection and DNS server settings.
    * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy?  Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.

Code: Select all

Network Timeout

The operation timed out when attempting to contact forums.informaction.com.

The requested site did not respond to a connection request and the browser has stopped waiting for a reply.

    * Could the server be experiencing high demand or a temporary outage?  Try again later.
    * Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
    * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy?  Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
    * Still having trouble? Consult your network administrator or Internet provider for assistance.

Code: Select all

Failed to Connect

The connection was refused when attempting to contact www.seamonkey-project.org.

Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.

    * Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
    * Are you unable to browse other sites?  Check the computer's network connection.
    * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.

All four situations (just) occurred, though only the one generated a NoScript message. And this time, almost certainly a flaky DSL connection on my end.
