Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 232674

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316

This is a regression of a correct behavior in earlier versions of Firefox (0.8)
and Mozilla (1.6).   After a series of https connections the browser claims a
connection timeout has occurred and refuses to load the rest of the page.

Installing or running another version of the browser(s) yields the completed page.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load https://ibank.amsouth.com
2. Note a series of connections to get images, etc.
3. Note the page stops loading half way through
4. Observe the connection timeout pop-up dialogue.

Actual Results:  
The browser made a series of connections and then stopped loading.  Eventually,
it reported a connection timeout error.  This is not server related.  



Expected Results:  
Page should complete loading

This is occuring in recent builds of Firefox and Mozilla.  The exact time of
regression is still being determined.

Are you sure? I see the exact same problem when using Konqueror 3.2.1.

This is indeed a bug on their side. See bug 232674.

Thomas, the best you can probably do is described here:
