Description of problem: The problem occurs when I try to retrieve information from an internet site using wget or curl, or for that matter any other function that provide http communication. It seems when you are trying to reach sertain internet pages the communication stalls up to 30 seconds. I've testet this on many servers including RHEL3 but it only occurs with RHEL4. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: The problem occurs every time, but it is dependend on which site you are trying to reach. With the following example, it happens every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1.wget http://www.itu.int/home/index.html 2.curl http://www.itu.int/home/index.html Actual results: The http communication stalls for up to 30 seconds Expected results: Additional info:
This is likely to be due to DNS problems, or general networking issues, unrelated to the httpd package.
