Package: iceweasel Version: 2.0.0.6-0etch1 Severity: normal
This bug has also been reported by Ubuntu users: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/76262 Basically, when loading a SSL page with gzip compression where there is some sort of redirect happening (whether via an apache Redirect or via PHP), the browser hangs for up to 10 seconds. This happens more often than not with an average wait longer than 5 seconds, giving the impression that there is something pretty broken on the server. I've only tested with Apache 2 and mod_deflate on the server. Not sure if the bug manifests with Apache 1.3 and mod_gzip. If I turn off mod_deflate, the problem goes away. I noticed the bug recently because I only turned on mod_deflate recently on one of my servers. The problem does not show up in Firefox 2 running on Windows. It also doesn't show up in Epiphany, which suggests that it's not a Gecko problem. If you don't have access to a server with SSL and gzip compression, feel free to e-mail me privately and I can send you some URLs for testing. Thanks!
