Further information: I am now testing with

For the workaround I am now using this php code, right at the top of each page: # work around for the ubunu firefox redirect bug if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) && preg_match('~Firefox~', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) && preg_match('~Linux~', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 0); } -- firefix 2.0 slow redirect under ssl with gzip https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76262 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
