Thanks a lot for the reply Wolfram, I hope it urges the App Engine/Google team to give this issue a proper inspection
My issue was exactly like yours, the connection stays open, browser lingers, no logs whatsoever from the App Engine side Over the course of 3 years, I received various reports of "white pages" - it's how users interpret the issue, since these un-answered but lingering requests result in browser "white pages" - so I assume the issue we experienced and this user-issue might be linked, so it might span 1+ years, however they might be unrelated too I really hate that issues like these cause a product to decay, I probably lost a lot of users to this "white page" issue, because only a small fraction of my userbase use the report function, maybe 0.01%, yet I received countless reports On Saturday, April 9, 2016 at 12:39:30 PM UTC+3, Wolfram Gürlich wrote: > > Hi Kaan, > > you're not alone.
