'''[MHo], 2007-10-23'''

Here are some observations I made while I restarted an old project: ''porting an old tclhttpd 3.4.x-site to the latest incarnations of that webserver, 3.5.1 or 3.5.2.''

I use my old build of that webserver, see [Tclhttpd Winservice] for further information.

'''The problem'''

I noticed that if I did not specify the file extension with an URL (like ''.htm'' or ''.tml''), sometimes excessive delays occur. The resulting page appears in the browser, if ever, only after a very long delay period.
Though I discover part of the program flow and learned that such page requests are satisfied via an error which was further handled by '''url_rewind''' and so on, I couldn't find any ''error''.

But there are two facts:

   * This error didn't occur with 3.4x-versions of the webserver.
   * The logic has been largely rewritten between 3.4x and 3.5x (the monolythic doc.tcl splits up to doc.tcl, fallback.tcl., etc.).

Today, I found out that under the ''absolutely same circumstances'' my whole tests run fine with ''Opera''. (I also tested IE7 but it failed for other reasions, as usual....). So I inspect my SeaMonkey settings once more. Just for a last test a disable the '''Keep-Alive''' Option (stated as experimental) and: '''that did it!'''
