mod_python and tabbed browsing with firefox
Hi,

I installed mod_python and it seems to work fine except with tabbed
browsing in firefox.

If I have more than one tab open within my trac enviroment in firefox
I cant seem to load pages until I switch tab.

More specific:

* I have two tabs open.
* When I click a link in my trac project, It says "Waiting for ..." in
the statusbar but it doesnt load the page.
* If I switch to the other tab, the page loads

Other observations:
If I open a page with another browser(konqureror) while waiting to load
the page. The page in firefox tab will also load.

I tried to recreate the problem with konqueror but couldn't. It seems to
be some strange mix of mod_python and firefox.

Does anybody on the list have any ideas?
mod_python and tabbed browsing with firefox [ In reply to ]
After some debuggin I ruled trac out as the source of the error.
I put a debbuging log at the beginning of the handler function in
trac.ModPythonHandler and it doesnt enter the function until the page is
loaded.

So for some reason it seems that apache/firefox doesnt send the request
for the page through when having tabs open.

Does anybody have any hints how I could debug this error. What I want
to find out is if is apache or firefox that behaves strangely.

I looked in the apache access log and from there I can conclude that
the access log gets updated at the same time as the page loads. But the
question is when does apache add the entry.
1. When it gets an request
2. When it has returned the request.

If it is 1. I could conclude that it is firefox that does something
wrong.
