Subject: Odd behaviour with gecko based browsers and reverse proxy. 
I have a really odd issue with elog...

My setup:

elogd.cfg:
[global]
port = 2109
SMTP host = localhost
Resource dir = /usr/share/elog
Logbook dir = /srv/www/elog
charset = UTF-8
Main Tab = main
URL = https://elog.codemages.net
Relative redirection = 1
Usr = www
Grp = www
Resolve host names = 0
Self register = 0 
Admin user = ruskie
SSL = 0
Login expiration = 20

[links]
Subdir = links
Theme = default
Comment = Link spam
Attributes = Author, Category, Link, Comment
Options Category = General, Law, IT, Odds, Linux
Required Attributes = Link, Comment
Page Title = ELOG - Link spam
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Category
Time format = %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M
Date format = %Y-%m-%d
Password file = links.pwd
Admin user = ruskie
RSS Title = $logbook $entry time :$Author :$Link :$Comment

[notes]
Subdir = notes
Theme = default
Comment = Various notes
Attributes = Category, Comment
Options Category = General, Law, IT, Odds, Linux
Required Attributes = Comment
Page Title = ELOG - Various notes
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Category

Password file = notes.pwd
Admin user = ruskie
RSS Title = $logbook $entry time :$Comment


lighttpd.conf:
$HTTP["host"] =~ "elog.*" {
  proxy.server = ( "" =>
                   ( "10.0.0.10" =>
                     (
                       "host" => "10.0.0.10",
                       "port" => 2109
                     )
                   )
                 )

}

If I access elog directly on 2109 I get no issues but when I use this configuration it takes minutes to access
any elog page at all. But the odd thing is this only happens when I'm using a gecko based browser(firefox,
xulrunner based etc...) if I use webkit-gtk or elinks all the pages load up with no noticable delay.

I have tried this on different computers, different configurations and so on... And always the same behaviour
when it comes to a gecko based browser. Elinks and webkit-gtk load up fine.

Marking this as Other so far. If anyone knows anything about running elog and lighttpd togheter please speak up.
