Hello all, There is a long-standing bug in Tux (the built-in kernel http server) which has been driving me nuts. When compression is enabled, Tux sends the Content-Length of the uncompressed content, but only writes the compressed bytes to the output stream. This result in a client timeout; it is especially noticeable on stylesheets under Mozilla, where it can stall a page load for up to 30 seconds. With some digging, I found the following patch from 2002 by Miles Elam: http://www.redhat.com/archives/tux-list/2002-November/msg00029.html The patch looks very low-risk and seems to be the right thing to do. Strangely, it was never acknowledged until this Feb 2004 post by Ingo Molnar: http://www.redhat.com/archives/tux-list/2004-February/msg00011.html I'm sure that backporting all the latest Tux changes is unfeasible, but perhaps Miles' patch could be applied before 2.4.20-35 gets released? - Henry Goffin -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
