           Summary: multipart/x-mixed-replace doesn't close connection when
                    img removed with Javascript
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://r02sdelc.device.mst.edu:8000/ipod/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Images
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dj88welty at gmail.com


Upon clicking on any of the items in the list at
http://r02sdelc.device.mst.edu:8000/ipod/, the webcam loads.  The problem
occurs when "Back to List" is clicked.  The javascript removes the img element
for the webcam, but the connection stays open, still streaming data for many
minutes afterwards.  The connection only closes when the tab/window is closed,
or a new page is loaded in that tab.  This is most noticeable in the network
activity monitor, and if multiple cameras are opened, one at a time, their
connections will build up.
The webcams stream by using multipart/x-mixed-replace http push.  This happens
at least with Webkit 525.x through 528+.
