100508 - [BeOS] Pages do not load or display completely

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[cls]

BeOS specific spinoff of bug 82720.

------- Additional Comments From Christopher Seawood 2001-07-23 20:18 -------

Just FYI, this problem is very prominent in BeOS builds.  With a trunk BeOS
build from this morning, I am completely unable to render the bugzilla query
page.  With a 0.9.2 build from this afternoon, the query page renders and is
usable but the Bug List page is truncated.  If I turn off the mem & disk cache
in both builds and hit reload repeatedly, sometimes the page renders correctly,
other times it's truncated and sometimes it just shows the page source instead
of rendering it.  

------------

I haven't seen the page source problem recently but the page not loading
completely problem happens usually within 10-15 minutes of casual browsing.

I have just started to notice this, as well.  I just got a cable modem.  I was using a 28.8k modem before.  With the slower connection, I never noticed the problem.  Many other BeOS users have told me about this problem, but I never saw it.  Now that I have a faster connection, I too am experiencing the problem.  This leads me to think that this is a timing issue.

Where would be a good place to start looking into this?

I can confirm this as well. cnn.com does it almost every time - the top half loads, but you 
can only scroll down a few lines, as the bottom of the page has been cut off. Running under 
BONE/7a for reference.

This bug is currently marked for Networking:HTTP, but downloads are also affected.

Should this be marked just "Networking"?

Added note:  It appears that this is not just related to the net_server builds, but happens under BONE as well.
