           Summary: Secure HTTPS connections fail under some circumstances.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 523.x (Safari 3)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Page Loading
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: kramp at mac.com


Description:  Connection failures have been observed with a HTTPS
            proxy running on localhost. During the SSL handshake phase
            the proxy sometimes receives TWO subsequent client-hello
            messages on the same socket from Safari! This is a protocol
            violation and the proxy terminates the connection. Since the
            probability of the error to occur is higher when many
            connections and handshakes are initiated by Safari in a short
            timely manner, the problem could be caused by incorrectly
            implemented synchronization. It looks like a socket is
            reused for a new connection although it is still busy.
            The problem occurs with Safari on Mac OSX Tiger+Leopard
            and on Windows XP.
Depends on:   The page content. When the page contains many links and these
            are retrieved quickly and in parallel, the connections are
            more likely to fail. The observed misbehaviour is somehow
            timing-dependent and cannot be reproduced 100% identically.
