            Bug ID: 173719
           Summary: Response.flush over HTTP/2
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 10
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: macOS 10.12.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

Problem

In a version of Safari that supports HTTP/2 (i.e. v9+) running on macOS “El Capitan” v10.11 or newer, when accessing a webpage served from IIS10 via HTTP/2 (e.g. Windows Server 2016 / Windows 10), if the page contains a "Response.Flush" then it will not load. It simply hangs with a white screen. Web server CPU usage also spikes during these occurrences.

Cause

The cause of the issue is using Response.Flush. I have only confirmed this in Classic ASP so I do not know about .NET, but removing those lines makes the pages load fine.

This thread (https://forums.iis.net/t/1235574.aspx?Response+Flush+not+working+on+SSL+site+in+classic+ASP) suggests that when Response.Flush is used, IIS switches protocol from HTTP/2 back to HTTP/1.1. Safari cannot handle this, whilst all other browsers seemingly can.
