AFAIK Hans is doing all this testing on a Windows 98 machine, not his production system, so it's reasonable that he'd experience differences between his production setup and his test setup.
It is a windows nt machine not a w98.
More testing: Clean installations, only with a mailhost it is de <dtml-sendmail> in the standard_error_message that does it. Removing it from the standard_error_message makes the authentication popup show immediately. In 2.4.3 the <dtml-sendmail> is not causing a pauze in the authentication popup to show.
I took a different machine, also a windows nt 4.0 machine. The same.
Then i tested it on our production server (don't tell my boss). That is a windows 2000 machine. There the problem does not show up.
Ah, could it be OS dependent?
I don't think so. I have the same problem on a Windows 2000. I have installed Zope 2.4.4 and Zope 2.5. Both worked allright 'till I changed a couple of services' configuration option and now they have the same problem.
Another windows 2000 machine No problem
A windows 95 machine. It took 8 seconds for the authentication popup to show, without the sendmail it popped up immediately.
Lucky you! my authentication popup takes about 25 seconds to show up!
Why would a sendmail in an error_message cause the authentication popup to wait for 25 seconds to show up,?
I have the standard_error_message that comes with Zope. Didn't change it at all.
even in the case that there is a misconfiguration of ..things.. I don't see the connection Is it OS related? It seems to be.
Suggestions for more tests?
Do you start/stop any service before the problem? Maybe it's the same cause. Nico.-
