Can anyone else recreate this problem on their system? Server/Client : Windows NT 4.0 SP4, IE 5. Server and client running on same machine. Running Zope 2.0b1 binary as shipped just last week. When viewing the management screens, if I don't perform any action for about a minute, then make a selection, IE5 hangs with the spinning globe for a long period of time, up to one minute. Once the request has been answered, I can quickly manipulate the management screens so long as I make future requests within a "short period" of time as the previous request. In other words, if I just keep clicking away -- no problem. Now for something interesting: 1. While IE 5 is "waiting for reply from server", if I make another request to Zope, either from the same machine or another machine, the pending request is immediately answered. Specifically, where I might wait 60 seconds for Zope to reply, I can during that wait make another request from the same machine (different browser) or from another machine and the waiting request will get an immediate reply (and the second request also gets an immediate reply) 2. This "hang" never seems to happen using Netscape 4 as the client. 3. This "hang" doesn't seem to happen if the IE 5 client is running on a different machine than the server. So .. this makes me think that: 1. In the win32 version of Zope 2. When IE5 is used as a local client 3. Zope is getting confused about some IE5 header in conjunction with the request coming from localhost 4. When another request is made, from anywhere, Zope "gets kicked in the ass" and stops blocking the first request.. Any ideas? My NT system has a <winnt>\system32\drivers\etc\hosts In that file is one entry, 127.0.0.1 localhost Also I have a DNS server running on BSD 3 with PTR records for the host system..
