Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 140107

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:

i'm getting http transaction text rather than html in a site with several layers
of nested frames while http pipelining and persistant connections are enabled
talking to a solaris machine running apache 1.3.4. it's a protected site so i
can't give out a url. the server is at ci.columbia.edu, however.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. config mozilla for pipelining and persistant connections
2. load complicated framesets. look, ma, http!
3. reload until all the frames load correctly and it goes away.

is any of the content dynamically generated?  via a CGI script or something
similar?  does the same CGI get referenced by more than one frame?  e.g.,:

  url1 = http://www.foo.com/cgi?a=1
  url2 = http://www.foo.com/cgi?a=2

if so, then you are likely seeing a known problem.

no, no dynamic code. all hard links to real html pages...

hmm.. then perhaps apache 1.3.4 simply has problems with pipelined requests?!

tever: can you setup an apache 1.3.4 server and test loading some pages from it
with pipelining enabled?  it'd be ideal to find out what version of apache
started supporting pipelined requests adequately.

just to let you guys know: i haven't had any trouble except for these nested
framesets, and they're nested 4 levels deep.

here's an example of what i'm getting inside some of my frames:

OK Date: Fri, 07 Jun 2002 21:32:06 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.4 (Unix) Keep-Alive:
timeout=15, max=98 Connection: Keep-Alive Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html ffe

sounds a lot like bug 140107... see for example this screenshot:
