firefox/firebug/net screenshot showing the problem
Sometimes it does load but it then needs seveal minutes.
use case : i load a page in wikipedia from chromium, either directly or using
search. The page stays blank and load forever.
My understanding is that bits.wikimedia.org doesn't answer, or takes a very
long time to answer.
With firefox, the behaviour is different, but the same underlying problem can
be observed. The difference is that firefox manages to display the whole page
even if it still waits for data from bits.wikimedia.org, while chromium can't.
None of this happens with ipv4. When using ipv4, everything works flawlessly.
My configuration is the following : linux/gentoo with 3.5.1 kernel,
www-client/chromium-21.0.1180.57, www-client/firefox-bin-14.0.1. But i'm quite
confident this doesn't matter here.
I did few tests from this computer:
* bits.wikimedia.org resolves as ipv6, very quickly (2620:0:862:ed1a::a)
* it pings as ipv6 (very quickly, too)
* i can see ports 22/80/443 opened with "nmap -6 bits.wikimedia.org"
* if i copy/paste the bits.wikimedia.org url and use either curl or wget with
"-6" option to force ipv6, the file is downloaded without problem. I'm really
confused on what to conclude from that. I confirm that the file is NOT loading
both from firefox and chromium (unless using ipv4 of course).
I used firefox/firebug to make the attached snapshot using the "net tab".
Unfortunately, bits.wikimedia.org never answered to this very query.
You will also notice that some of the images took more than 10S even before the
download could be started. But this is a different issue : at least those
finally came in.
I'm very often connected on freenode as orzel, if you want some realtime tets.
