That's a bug which would cause a 404 response to hang the client waiting for a non-existent byte. http://184.106.135.43:1234//usr/include/pthread.h because I know that's file is so big it requires multiple sends. It takes a while, but I can load it OK with firefox. With Curl I get a hang sometimes. I can also, I think, do this: curl http://184.106.135.43:1234//usr/include/pthread.h > tmp1.out & 10 times really fast, and all the processes load and terminate. Safari also loads it. However it hangs on "the second item", a request for "favicon.ico". I know firefox tries to get that too. [Yet another example of crap programming: the Safari diagnostic window column for the status isn't big enough to show the full message, the column can only be resized by making the window bigger .. but there's a max size .. grr, doesnt anyone ever test programs anymore?] Hmm .. I can load the pthread.h file but another Safari window trying to load favicon.ico explicitly can't even make a connection :) I I change the name to favicon.flx I get a "can't find it response". BTW: I'm changing the server to serve a 404 instead. Looks to me like Safari is junk. Yeah, if I load a non-existant file now I get a diagnostic message PAGE NOT FOUND, and firefox keeps trying to load the page, finally (after the timeout I guess) I get a connection reset. BTW: the webserver does NOT read the whole of the client's request. It only reads the GET line. I see no workaround because there's no way to KNOW how much has been sent. It takes several seconds for the connection to go through, and varying time for the transfer. I don't have a test case on the site for multiple simultaneous requests, eg a page with lots of images. Actually, the server can't handle many image types at the moment, need to fix that, but I can browse my Python docs locally, they have some images for navigation arrows. Come on lurkers .. more feedback is needed here!
