Hello LEAF World!

I seem (hope not) to have found a problem with HTTP transfer in the uClibc
release 2 of Bering.
All has been working on Bering 1.2, so I decided to "upgrade" to uClibc.
At first all seemed OK, then my wife wanted to access her on-line bank
account.

Although this starts with a completely normal, public HTTP (NOT HTTPS) web
page(http://www.spk-vs.de), no browser can display it (MSIE, Opera, Mozilla
tested) no message is displayed, the browser just sits for ever trying to
get the page.

OK, switch back to Bering 1.2 with he same firewall rules and it all works
fine.
I have then (to avoid misconfiguration) set up a uClibc floppy disk (the
download) and just configured my interaces (no extras, as delivered
shorewall etc). Same result - uClibc version doesn't let this page be
displayed.

Sooo..
TCPDUMP on the PPPoE interface, Ethereal on the network and let's analyse.
uClibc:
After the 3-way handshake, the Browser does a GET, the Web page answers with
TCP ACK and that's it - no further action.

With Bering 1.2 the next action is a HTTP OK and the dialogue continues.

I have capture files for both interfaces on both versions of LEAF, but
cannot see what is going wrong. All sequence numbers seem correct. The FW
doesn't seem to dropping any packets but it just doesn't work on uClibc.

Anyone got any ideas ?
