           Summary: HTML5 video request stay pending (forever)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media Elements
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: admin at simonboudrias.com


I have a weird issue in Chrome (tested on version 26), haven't had a chance to test it on Safari.

Each time I load a media element (<video> or <audio>), Chrome will start two HTTP request.

The first one will stay pending forever (I guess this is the "meta-data", "partial content" request. But the point is that it stay pending)

The second one to the same file is ok and goes on and close after the loading is over.

The problem here is that the first request stay pending until I close the browser page. So at some point, if I load multiple media, Chrome will break and stop downloading anything because every available request is occupied by a pending request.

I've check to reproduce the issue, and it is happening on both Video.js and MediaElements.js frontpages. To confirm, open your network tab when loading the page, you'll see the first pending request. Then press play on the video, and you'll see the second request working, but the first one will stay pending forever.

I've also tried it on Youtube.com with the HTML5 video mode, and the same problem was occuring.
