Synopsis: 
Waiting 1 minute for response after Netscape issue a POST method to Tomcat

Description:
I experience a slow problem with POST using netscape 4.7.
(It doesn't happen with GET method which response back immediately)

The POST method seems take forever .... so slow ..... to give me back a
response. However if I click on the title bar of the netscape 
(or other windows), it will give back the response immediately. 
Strange ???

Here is some comments from another observers:
