Webrick 1.1.4
Ruby    1.7.2  [i586-mswin32]
erb     1.3.3

I have a simple rhtml script that puts up a form, gets a response, and
then displays a result form.

Under IE6, the initial form is dislayed correctly. I send back the
form data, and the rhtml page displays the result page. However, IE
displays nothing, and the little globe keeps spinning. After 30
seconds, Webrick reports a 408 error, and then the page is displayed.
From then on, I always get the 408 error: I have to restart Webrick to
get it to reset.

I thought this might be a content-length bug, but the header agrees
with the length of data being sent. Does anyone have any ideas?


Thanks


Dave
