[erlang-questions] ibrowse compile error

[Scott Zhang]

Actually I tried on 2 server one in China and one in US. Both of them are
not working.
And more, I have to use wireshark to track the package for this http
session.  I saw when I was using firefox and .NET program to get this url. I
saw the correct GET + many many continueous and at end, it get an Response
Code 200. Then everything is fine.

When I am using http client and ibrowse, I saw the correct GET + many many
continueous
30821 2503.516971 67.55.101.167 192.168.1.101 TCP [TCP segment of a
reassembled PDU]

then
sometimes, I never saw the Response Code 200. Sometimes, I saw the response
Code 200 but the erlang program is still blinking there?

I have another question, is there a possibility erlang's low level TCP
implement has flaw to make it unable to detect tcp shutdown or keepalive? If
not why http client and ibrowse can't run correct?


Regards.
Scott
