146286 - Site never finishes loading

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020517
BuildID:    2002051706

When going to a few sites, I find that mozilla seems to never finish loading the
page.  I thought this was a slow server at the site end, but I copied the url
into IE6 and the site loads in a snap.  All links off the site are quick too. 
Meanwhile, mozilla is still churning in the background.  FYI, I have HTTP
pipelining turned on.  Anecdotally, I've turned it off on some other trouble
sites, and haven't seen a difference.  I don't always get this, but it happens
enough to still give me the impression that mozilla is not there yet...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to http://www.docdvd.com/reviews/pioneerdv47asecondlook_review.shtml
2.  Wait for page to load.
3.  Wait some more...

Actual Results:  Page takes forever and a day to load.  Snappy (unfortunately)
on IE6.

Expected Results:  Page should load pretty quickly from this site.

Loads in a matter of seconds on a day old cvs build, Linux.
What are your preferences for pipelining under advanced/http networking?

Do you see this if you turn pipelining off and clear the disk cache ?

Comment 3

[tony_tl]

It's worse with the cache cleared.  

I switched HTTP pipelining off then on and saw no difference either way.  BTW, 
I'm having this problem at work on NT, I need to test this at home on W2K.

Found another example of a page that won't finish in moz RC3 but is snappy in 
IE6:

1. Go to http://www.crutchfield.com
2. Click on "My Account".
3. Page won't load or won't finish loading.

I think I've also seen this on other secure pages.

Oops, instructions should be:

Just tried "Your Account" again at www.crutchfield.com and secure page never 
finishes loading with Moz 1.0.  Should I log another bug?

Here's a direct link:
https://www.crutchfield.com/S-254ZWafpkm8/scgi-bin/userlogin.asp

This loads in a snap under IE6.

Haven't tried this page under M1.1B since I just uninstalled it.  It is 
constantly using 98% of my CPU time.

your problems with 1.1b:
Install it in a clean directory !

both URLS are wfm with win2k build 20020730..
and clear the disk cache after you disable pipelining

-> Networking:Http
