Re: [lwip-users] HTTP transfer delayed by errors with Firefox - lwIP 1.

Hi Lou,
I had the similar problem with LwIP 1.3.0 and Firefox, on SuperH platform.
Firefox doesnt wait for all content which it previously demanded. In IE everything looks just fine.
The problem was, that firefox is checking html content more strictly and requires a proper html header. I thing that header must be divided from html body by TWO new-lines, or something like this (if anybody knows this, please correct me). So maybe, preparing w3c validated html page could solve your problem.

Regards, Marek.

Lou,

I've always questioned the use of tcp_poll and stopped using it.  It seems
to me that when the stack wants more data, it will call tcp_sent to get it.
I'm not sure why tcp_poll needs to try to also send data.  Chances are it
doesn't go or tcp_sent would be called, and it eventually leads to that
retry timeout in tcp_poll.  Maybe a developer can tell us what is the
purpose of tcp_poll and why does it look like it can cause problems.

Bill
