Loading stops stops about halfway (judging from the progress bar in the URL field).

Works as expected in Firefox 3.0 b5

This works as expected for me in both 3.1.1 and r32698 on 10.5.2

Interesting if it does not reproduce for other people.

I have a suspicion that this problem depends on the router - that somehow the networking layer that Webkit uses does not play well with this router, while Firefox does. Or maybe some other router used by this ISP.

Router: 3Com OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless 11g Firewall Router, software version 2.06T13 (Apr 25 2007 17:06:30)

Here is another page it just happened on:

http://www.berlingske.dk/article/20080504/danmark/705040052/ - specifically the following ad (taken from the activity window):

http://adserver.adtech.de/addyn|3.0|595|1405568|0|225|ADTECH;cookie=info;loc=100;target=_blank;key=key1+key2+key3+key4;grp=1;misc=1209945565808

This ad is permanently showing "0 of ?" in the progress column of Activity View. Double clicking on it in the Activity View reveals that it has the following content:

document.write("<scr"+"ipt language=\"javascript\" src=\"http://track.adform.net/adfscript/?bn=100784;click=http://adserver.adtech.de/adlink|595|1405568|0|225|AdId=1776276;BnId=1;itime=945579642;key=key1+key2+key3+key4;nodecode=yes;link=;ord=945579642\">\n");
document.write("</scr"+"ipt>\n");
document.write("<noscript>\n");
document.write("<A HREF=\"http://adserver.adtech.de/adlink|595|1405568|0|225|AdId=1776276;BnId=1;itime=945579642;key=key1+key2+key3+key4;nodecode=yes;link=http://track.adform.net/C/?bn=100784;C=0\" TARGET=\"_blank\">\n");
document.write("<IMG SRC=\"http://track.adform.net/adfserve/?bn=100784;srctype=4;ord=945579642\" BORDER=\"0\" WIDTH=\"950\" HEIGHT=\"200\" ALT=\"\"></A>\n");
document.write("</noscript>\n");


Usually a couple of reloads manage to get the page to arrive enough to render.

Works in the latest nightly.
