AVG surf-shield prevents firefox disconnect

Fix for AVG issue will be in build 4662 (or any with higher number).
Image uploading is working fine for others so I need more information(browser with version list of addons, screen with error if there is many).
Thanks

hige should have been "hughe" - I do not seem to be able to edit my post though.

I got the same issue, any connection to my streaming server (icecast2) is not properly closed, even when closing tabs or the whole web-browser, the traffic between the client and the server stills active. This issue i got with Opera, Firefox and Chrome, running on a Windows 8.1 machine, and AVG-free.

While building a simple streaming server, I found an issue related to firefox closing connections. It turns out the problem is caused by AVG 2014 surf-shield.

The full problem is stated in this post (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23580395/flask-sse-stream-not-terminated-after-firefox-disconnects" target="_blank). The main point is that, when surf-shield is on, at the moment firefox disconnects from the server, either by closing the tab or by reloading the page, the TCP disconnection sequece is not finished correctly, leaving the connection open. The TCP status of the Firefox side hangs in FIN_WAIT2, while the server side hangs in CLOSE_WAIT. This leads to a significant waste of resources, since the streaming threads keep running on the server-side. This has been verified on multiple machines, and is not a problem when either another anti-virus system is used or surf-shield is disabled. Other browsers don't seem to be influenced either.

If this is indeed a bug in AVG surf-shield, maybe this is something worth fixing.  I don't know to which extent this generalizes to all servers, but if it does, this might cause some significant issues.

Paulo, Build 4662 hasn't been released yet. Presently the latest build is still 4592.

I escalated this to our system engineers, out of curiosity how you managed to upload it in one of previous posts?
Thanks

I tried with (always the latest version of) Firefox as well as Chrome. Since the error is exactly the same I only post a Chrome screenshot.

Ah I get it. But I gave you all teh information you need! Give it to the web develoepers, they'll know what to do (I hope - they should). I see an EMPTY dialog, that is the point! The frame cannot be loaded due to your own security restrictions. SHall I upload a white empty image?

Official program update 2014.4714 Small Update 4 has now been released.
