I'm using the built-in web server for development on Windows with web.py 0.22. I find that when a page references a css file, the page takes about 10 second to load. But if I remove the css link, the page loads immediately (w/o style.) I then access the css file directly like this: http://localhost:8080/static/style.css and the css file takes about 10 seconds to load.
I tried with an image file in static folder, which loads immediately. I tried both IE and firefox, same behavior. The server command line shows an entry for style.css immediately but it won't be loaded until after about 10 seconds in browser. I tried retrieving the css with Python urllib, I get the file immediately every time. So it seems that the problem is in the browser - it seems that the browser doesn't think it's got the whole file. I went ahead and studied the headers that got sent between IE and CherryPy. I notice that CherryPy is doing three things wrong here: 1. It replies HTTP/1.0 with Keep-Alive with HTTP/1.1 reply 2. It sends "Connection: Keep-Alive" which is not necessary because HTTP/1.1 defaults to keep-alive. 3. It eats 0xd from 0xd 0xa in the original file, and only sends 0xa, but the Content-Length it reports includes 0xd so the browser was expecting more data. Contnet-Length says 1178 bytes but it actually sends 1100 bytes. Problem 1 and 2 are not too bad. Problem 3 is bad and seems to be what's causing the problem. So the css file won't be displayed until CherryPy times out the connection and sends a FIN packet. Hopefully someone who's familiar with the code can double-check and come up with a fix :) (Request Method) GET /static/style.css HTTP/1.0 Accept image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/x-shockwave-flash, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, */* Accept-Language en-us User-Agent Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) Host localhost:8080 Connection Keep-Alive (Response Status) HTTP/1.1 200 Content-type text/css Content-Length 1178 Last-Modified Tue, 25 Dec 2007 22:50:41 GMT Connection Keep-Alive Date Wed, 26 Dec 2007 02:59:26 GMT Server CherryPy/3.0.1 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
