Current update on this problem;
I've been sniffing the TCP stream while logging in with Netscape/PC and
Netscape/Mac. Interestingly the Mac version appears to load three objects
(images) and then wait for 18 seconds. Then load another three objects and
again wait 18 seconds. Etc etc etc.....
Very strange, the PC Netscape loads the entire page in under a second.
I have also tried using Netscape/Mac with differing security levels. Using
the security tool in Netscape I have tried turning off SSLv2 or SSLv3 at the
client, including changing the requested ciphers. Any combination of the
below, on or off, makes no difference, Netscape/Mac still crawls.
RC4 encryption with a 128-bit key and an MD5 MAC
FIPS 140-1 compliant triple DES encryption and SHA-1 MAC
Triple DES encryption with a 168-bit key and a SHA-1 MAC
FIPS 140-1 compliant DES encryption and SHA-1 MAC
DES encryption with a 56-bit key and a SHA-1 MAC
RC4 encryption with a 56-bit key and a SHA-1 MAC
DES encryption in CBC mode with a 56-bit key and a SHA-1 MAC
RC4 encryption with a 40-bit key and an MD5 MAC
RC2 encryption with a 40-bit key and an MD5 MAC
No encryption with an MD5 MAC
Any clues yet? Is there anything I can do, record, reconfig, chant, to try
and find an answer for this?
