Firefox cancels an XHR $http.get request for an image, while the same works for Chrome?

This question might have been answered before, but I couldn't find anything on it so I am posting this question.

In our application we have a grid which contains blob data. In this grid, for a blob that has an image attached to it we give a link, with the URL to access that link. On the click of this link we call $http.get. For some reason firefox aborts this request.

P.S : When we hit the same request using Fiddler we get the response on time.

Request you to please provide some insight on this issue.

Hi Neha, could you check both Firefox's Web Console and Browser Console for any error/warning/debug messages that could be related to this problem? You can access these from the menu or the keyboard shortcuts:

Web Console - opens in the lower part of the tab

  • "3-bar" menu button > Developer > Web Console
  • (menu bar) Tools > Web Developer > Web Console
  • Ctrl+Shift+k

Browser Console - opens in a separate window

  • "3-bar" menu button > Developer > Browser Console
  • (menu bar) Tools > Web Developer > Browser Console
  • Ctrl+Shift+j

Anything?

As a general note, beware of CORS issues between subdomains, e.g., www.example.com vs. example.com.

Hi jscher2000, Thanks for your help, but no there aren't any errors or logs in any of the console windows.

If you check Firefox's Network Monitor, are you getting an unexpected HTTP response code for the request? https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Tools/Network_Monitor

If that doesn't provide any further insight, can you provide a link to a page demonstrating this problem?

I am getting the following response :

But when I check the properties in Fiddler, I can see X-ABORTED-WHEN: SendingResponse

In the Netwrok monitor there's not response header for this request but I am getting the following response if I hit the request using Fiddler :
