810 not always obeying redirects from websites

We appear to be getting an issue on the 810 where it is ignoring
redirects (i.e. CGI.redirect in perl) when the page doing the
redirect takes say 2 seconds plus from being requested to delivering
the redirect. This does not affect any desktop browsers we have
tested and we have tested most of them. So it would appear to be a
bug in the 810 browser. It just sits there for ever trying to get
the page - apache logs indicate it gets the page that issues the
redirect but never requests the page it is redirected to. If we have
no delay in the redirect it works, putting a sleep(2) in the redirect
page and it stops working.

Any ideas? I would imaging other people are having intermittent
problems with the many web applications out there using redirects.

Simon

Could you please provide a public url for testing purposes?
(preferably one for each case described)

Just done some more tests and the problem seems to go away on G
wireless network and only be present on a B wireless network - so
maybe it is related to wireless rather than browser. Has anyone else
had these symptoms?

I don't have a site to test with setup it is on an internal network.

You're going to need to get some tcpdump or wireshark style logs.

But it sounds like your scenario is way too flaky for someone else (like
me) to want to go off and investigate it.
