Summary: Safari attempts to make a connection to the internet
before network is up and running
Product: WebKit
Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
Platform: Macintosh Intel
OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Critical
Priority: P1
Component: Page Loading
AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
ReportedBy: macangels at spamcop.net
There is a persistent problem with Webkit/Safari where the attempts to make a
connection to the internet BEFORE network is up and running.
This is especially true when connecting with Airport which causes a delay and
especially where using webmail.
Scenario:
A Mac Book goes to or is put to sleep with open browser windows. It is
open/woke up. The browser attempts to refresh the webmail page, finds it cannot
connect to the internet. Produces a whitepage error.
Soon after, the Mac is able to connect to the internet via wireless. The page
refreshes again but the user has already been logged out etc. Happens on
numerous sites.
Solution:
I think it would be more elegant if Safari/Webkit checked to see if it was up
and running on the network/internet BEFORE refreshing pages, attempting to log
etc. I think it is particularly a problem with Airport due to the delay factor.
Thanks. Excuse me I am not a developer or tech.
