           Summary: WebKit refuses to display incomplete images
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Images
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: zerodpx at gmail.com


When asked to open an incomplete image, Firefox decodes as much as it can and
displays the results; Safari shows a broken image icon.

I think WebCore should only refuse to display the image if nothing can be
decoded at all (couldn't connect to server, etc.), or perhaps if the decoder
sets m_failed to true (indicating an undecodable image).  For images where the
decoder happily decodes as much as it can and we simply never have enough data
to transition to FrameComplete, it seems better to show the partial image than
nothing.

Test image to be attached shortly.
