Internet Explorer 6.0 (SP2) Hangs with HTTP 1.1 and woodstock components for NetBeans 6.0

Folks, I recently upgraded my woodstock components in NetBeans 6.0, All
went well, at least for my project development...

I have used the insert, update and delete tutorial using a MySQL table,
and notice that when I try to show the page in IE 6.0 that it does not
render properly, APPEARS to hang for upwards of five minutes, eventually
it does show the whole page... BUT in minutes. I also enabled HTTP
Compression in glassfish.

Turning off HTTP 1.1 seems to work, the page is slower to render but
works all the same in IE.

In Safari and Firefox, HTTP 1.1 works (with HTTP compression from
glassfish) without issue.

Reading google/forum postings, I see it could be a common problem -

og URL Get Connections and there not being enough.

Is it a case of the AJAX'ing and multiple URL request required to render
the table the CachedRowset etc?

Is there any workaround - obviously I cant ask my user base to change
their IE settings.

Once the page loads in the browser (after waiting for the "hang" to
finish), I can click "shift-refresh" and the page renders properly,
correctly and in a timely manner.

Your thoughts greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Chris
