Total of 182 bytes read in 0.126 seconds It seems there is some sort of protocol problem (miscalculation of response length perhaps?). Is this a known bug in 2.5.1? If so, is there a patch available to fix it (I'm not in a position to upgrade Zope). I tried searching the Zope Collector but saw nothing obvious in about five minutes of searching.
