-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This ended up not being a pound issue at all but I thought I would document the solution here for anyone having the same problems who happens to stumble across the archives of this thread somewhere.
The issue was Firefox and OCSP. Our root CA doesn't yet support OCSP so when Firefox would access anything via pound, it would issue the OCSP request and then wait until that timed out (since the CA would never respond) this led to 1) really slow page loads and 2) pound timing out while waiting on the client since the client was waiting on the CA. The quick solution: In Firefox go to about:config and change the value of security.OCSP.enabled to 0. Firefox stops issuing OCSP requests and the whole problem goes away. The proper solution: convince your CA to support OCSP (good luck :) David King Goshen College ITS [email protected] 574-535-7726 Falk Brockerhoff wrote: > Am 16.03.2010 um 17:02 schrieb Simon Matter: > >>> TimeOut 30 >> Could it be that 30 seconds is a bit small here?
