We develop software that is accessed via web browsers. The servers are Apache 1.3.x and 2.2.x (solaris and linux). Clients can be IE, Firefox, Safari. We recently noticed that users with Safari browsers hang when loading one of two different pages (never any further). It does not happen with other browsers. The Safari versions so far are
Version/3.2.1 Safari/525.2X, some Version/3.1.2 Safari/525.2X.

Today I added BrowserMatch statements to the httpd.conf like this, also adding to revert to HTTP/1.0, but that didn't make a difference.
BrowserMatch "^Safari$" nokeepalive.

I do not have any errors in the Apache logs that could indicate a problem. I just eventually get that the page can't be loaded (and it is not always the same page, sometimes one loads and then it won't).

I know this is not alot of information but any suggestions would help.

Thank You.

HI,

We found that if we activated https for the site, it did not hang. Everything was the same, we just had the user go in under https.

Do you have any ideas why that would be? This is a linux server, but with a solaris server it works with just http.

Thank you very much.
