Sounds like a TCP flow-control problem to me, if there truly is no
ethernet traffic being generated. And under the general sphere of
"flow-control problems" might be the HTTP server on the other end...
What does tcpdump produce?
IIRC, Netscape configures those HTTP/TCP socket fd's with O_NDELAY
(this helps facilitate their threading). When these non-blocking
write() calls fail, errno is set to EAGAIN.
Your netscape process is trying to jam something down a pipe that the
system thinks is incapable of accepting more data. It's that simple.
