65** Bug in url-http-parse-headers, reported in
66From: Vivek Dasmohapatra <vivek@zeus.com>
67Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2004 16:13:13 +0100

69Fetching a url with url-retrieve can reult in an anrbitrary buffer
70being killed if a 401 (or possibly a 407) result is encountered:
71
72url-http-parse-headers calls url-http-handle-authentication,
73which can call url-retrieve.
74
75This results in the current buffer being killed, and a new http buffer
76being generated. However, when the old http buffer is killed, emacs
77picks the top buffer from the list as the new current buffer, so by the
78time we get to the end of url-http-parse-headers, _that_ buffer is marked
79as dead even though it is not necessarily a url buffer, so next time the
80url libraries reap their dead buffers, an innocent bystander buffer is
81killed instead (and an obsolete http buffer may be left lying around too).
82
83A possible fix (which I am currently using) is to call set-buffer
84on the return value of url-http-parse-headers:
85
86 (case url-http-response-status
87 (401
88 ;; The request requires user authentication. The response
89 ;; MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field containing a
90 ;; challenge applicable to the requested resource. The
91 ;; client MAY repeat the request with a suitable
92 ;; Authorization header field.
93 (url-mark-buffer-as-dead (current-buffer))
94 (set-buffer (url-http-handle-authentication nil)))
95etc ....
96
97which makes sure that it is the right http buffer that is current when
98we come to mark the http buffers as dead.

191Electric-pop-up-window does not work well
192if truncate long lines disabled and/or
193`line-spacing' is set to positive integer.
194
195For example, start emacs -Q --line-spacing 1, and type M-` .
196Then, the last line of *Completions* buffer is not visible.
197
198fit-window-to-buffer works well for me, so I guess
199Electric-pop-up-window can use it.
