Might be a problem with redirection, which Jigsaw uses to convert the
with-no-slash URL to with-a-slash-url. Eg if you ask for /User, Jigsaw
will first redirect the browser to /User/ .

There is a bug in netscape 2.0 and keep alive connections. When Jigsaw
emits an error, Netscape (<= 2.x hangs badly). If you're using 2.0 you
might consider upgrading to 3.0 (which is better anyway), or turn the
Jigsw keep-alive flag to false.

Oops, sorry it doesn't work with Netscape, it does work with IE. Is
your problem netscape specific ? Have your tried another browser ? If
all this fails, can you send me a scenario that makes the server hang
(starting from scratch - eg just after you start Jigsaw). I have a
Win95 box handy...
