From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; es-ES; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801

I can't load the webpage
http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/starwars_dev_boards.html

Its a forum from starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com. The forum works under
Internet Explorer 5.5, but it does not work with mozilla (I tried windows and
linux version, with the same result).

The error given by Mozilla: ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

Remember, IE can download the page, Mozilla can't  (even if it looks like a
connection problem, it only happens when using mozilla).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load the webpage http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/starwars_dev_boards.html


Another way:
1.-Load http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/starwars_dev_boards.html
2.-Click on "Forums"
3.-Click on "Developer's Forum"

Actual Results:  Can't load the webpage

Expected Results:  The webpage should load, as it does with IE 5.5

WFM on linux as well.

1.-Load http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com
2.-Click on "Forums"
3.-Click on "Developer's Forum"

Looking at the screenshot provided, my guess is : it's a Mozilla-Squid-issue.

WFM using 2001083103 Win2k.

Sounds like a Networking problem.  Reassigning.

After looking at the IE 5.5 configuration, I found that IE explorer was not
using any kind of proxy. If I enable the proxy, then I can't see the webpage.

If I disable the proxy with Mozilla, then the webpage is seen without problems.

I think this is a problem of the proxy (Squid), not a problem of Mozilla.

I marked the bug as resolved too fast. The problem is solved with windows
version of Mozilla, as I said in my previous post. But with the linux version,
if I disable the proxy, I get the following alert box:

"The connection was refused when attempting to contact www.station.sony.com"

I'm reopening the bug, and marking it as a "linux" bug.

I don't use a proxy and i don't see this bug on yesterdays CVS build, linux.
Reporter: Would you mind testing this with a new build instead of 2001080110.

The forum works now. The problem was that the linux kernel had "congenstion
notification" enabled, and I think the server of the forum doesn't like it.

If anyone has this problem, you can solve it typing (as root):

echo -n 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn


Marking bug as FIXED.

Thanks for your time.
