103340 - Lockup/delay loading page the first time

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect, P3)

Description

[Sean Harding]

The first loading of https://www8.lsac.org/login/newuser.asp causes the browser
to stop refreshing its windows and spin on the CPU. The status bar says
"Resolving host www8.lsac.org." If I hit stop, I get a blank page. If I then try
to load the page again in that window, it loads almost instantly. DNS lookups
from the command line are very fast. 

This happens regardless of whether I type the URL into the location bar or click
on the link to it (from http://www.lsac.org, "check your lsac file status
online" button on the left). The page loads quickly in Communicator 4.78.

This is the linux 10-05-2001 nightly build on FreeBSD. I've been seeing this for
at least a couple of nightlies now, though. It's not new to this build.

few weeks.
