You say you are using 1.2, but not exactly which version - 1.2 final has not yet been released.
Builds *after* 1.2 beta have the fix for bug 163605, including the latest-1.2 builds on the ftp server.
If you were using a version that has not yet the fix, could you please test with a later build?
Thanks,
Kai

I'm hoping to optimize Mozilla so that it has faster secure web page response time over broadband satellite connections than IE.Today I analyzed some ethernet traces of Mozilla retrieving a simple web page with multiple embedded images. The trace started out as I expected: 1 - after an SSL connection is established and the HTML is retrieved Mozilla opens additional TCP connections to retrieve the embedded images. 2 - The TCP connection establishment completes as expected. BUT THEN I WAS STUNNED TO DISCOVER: 3 - Mozilla would only perform a single SSL session reuse negotiation with the server at a time! 4 - As a result, the image retrieval proceeded one image at a time!!! This is obviously really bad for web page response time when you are on a long-latency link such as a geosynchronous satellite link. Can anyone provide insight on this: 1 - Am I crazy and reading the trace wrong? 2 - Is there some not so well known parameter I could reconfigure to help? 3 - How much trouble would it be to relieve this single negotiation at a time restriction? I'm willing, along with a colleague, to spend dozens of hours trying to fix this if it is possible. Doug Dillon
