Script time-outs when connecting via SSL

Post by mecha_godzilla »

Hi,

I don't know whether anyone else has experienced this but I'm working on an application that runs entirely through SSL and every so often (maybe one page in ten, sometimes less though) when trying to access a new page my browser just sits and spins it's little wheel and nothing seems to be happening. Looking at my connection window, there's the normal burst of in/out activity when the page request is made and then nothing else.

I don't think the problem is to do with my script time-out settings (currently set to 60 seconds) and the pages I'm loading aren't complex (page generation time is usually tens or hundreds of milliseconds) and it happens irrespective of whether the server is busy or quiet.

Does anyone have any advice or can point me in the right direction please? I'm using Apache with keepalives turned off if that helps, but this might be irrelevant.

Thanks,

Mecha Godzilla
