Hello,

I currently use 2.0.53 with full success with a server on SolarisSparc 2.8
and a set uf users on Solaris, Windows and MacOS.

The connextion from MacOS is slow on dynamic pages (CGI scripts) and I can't
understand why (this seems to have appeared since upgrade from 2.0.45 to 2.0.52).

If I log the exchange, here are the differences I record:
 - with a SunOS client, I get a normal packet exchange with mms equal to 1460 (after agreement upon 1460 max packet size)

 - with a MacOS client, the exchange is much longer:
   * the effective packet size is 1448 instead of 1460
   * packet size seems to be renegociated on a different secondary port
   * an Option field  (Options=<nop,nop,tstamp 297315456  3235295809>) is added on all exchanged packets
   
Could it be a language problem ? The static pages do not have a charset explicit instruction
which is added to dynamic pages by the CGI.pm module:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1


Thank in advance for any clue.

Regards
