Further testing has narrowed it down a little more, but is still not much help. It's not the 301 response code though. The 301 redirects to: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/home/home.html which is then redirected by a 302 to http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/home/home.html/{someuniqueid} It appears that enabling Retrieve All Embedded Resources from HTML Files contributes to the problem. If I change my test so that the path in the request is /exec/obidos/subst/home/home.html (to skip the 301 response entirely), enable Follow Redirects and Retrieve All..., it hangs. If I disable Retrieve All..., it doesn't hang. I'm now going to dig into the code to see if I can figure out what's going on - maybe the html parser is choking on the response. I did notice that the response headers are mangled in the Sampler result tab (for the case where Retrieve All... is disabled) - "Connection: close" is written either as "nnCoection: close" or "Cneonction: close", depending on whether I'm looking at the home.html response or the home.html/{someuniqueid} response. But that could be a red herring.
Anyone with a suspicion where to look, chime in...
