I develop ZopeStudio on straight ZServer, so I don't think that that is
the problem. The 25 pings you see is ZopeStudio waiting for Mozilla to
have retrieved and parsed the RDF, not actual data over the network.

Look in your Z2.log file, in the var directory. You should see entries
for "GET /zsTreeRoot HTTP/1.0" and "GET /zsContainerRDF HTTP/1.0". If
they are not there, Mozilla cannot find your server.

Thanks to some fixes from the Mozilla team, better error reporting is
under way.

Again, my copy of Mozilla has no problems. What build are you using?

This should be GET / HTTP/1.0

The host part and the protocol part of the URL are never sent to the
server. After all, they define on what port and on what server you place
the call.
