0.7.7 Causes a "Stack Overflow" in IE8 when using xhr-polling

[xtassin]

Using a minimal test implementation (client and server), IE8 shows a popup "stack overflow in line 0", on receiving the GET response.

The problem appears to occur in a random fashion and more often when the frequency of requests increases.

The problem does not occur when using "flashsocket" transport.

Tested on WinXP, IE8

It would be nice if you could share your minimal test implementation so we can reproduce it.

Server:

var io = require('socket.io').listen(8080);
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
    socket.on('update', function(sMsg) {
        socket.emit('test', 'bar');
    });
});

Client:

  <script src="http://localhost:8080/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
  <script>
        var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:8080');
        setInterval(function() {
            socket.emit('update', 'foo');
        }, 500);
  </script>

See? That was minimal!

About 1 out of 20 IE 8.0 users get this error on my site, also with 0.7.8.

Do you have a reproducible test case?

[denisu]

No, sorry. I can not reproduce it on my machine, but its permanent at some of my users. Is there a simple way to debug them remotely?

[denisu]

I was now able to reproduce it, just disable Flash :).

firejune fixed it, and it works: #458
