Comment #8 on issue 3828 by [email protected]: XMLHttpRequest HEAD
request blocks the process for 2 minutes
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3828
Yikes! Sounds like our support for HEAD is borked...
I believe the problem is, we are trying to read the message body from HEAD
responses.
Since HEAD *has no message body*, we will hang waiting for bytes to be
received.
However o bytes will be received; eventually the server is going to close
the connection, so we will complete.
> It certainly does appear to be directly related to using a proxy.
The fact that it is slow on proxy is coincidental.
I reckon the proxy server you are using to reproduce this has a much higher
TTL on idle sockets (in particular
2 minutes). Whereas the origin server must have a shorter time to live.
I can take this bug. At first glance this strikes me as a serious bug,
since web-apps relying on HEAD may have
extremely high latencies...
Thanks for the report.
