Mercurial browser on Windows 2003 takes several refreshes before displaying repositories
- by Tim Murphy
When attempt to browse my Mercurial repositories it usually takes several refreshes before the repository list is displayed. The configuration is as follows:
Windows Server 2003 (Dedicated machine hosted by http://www.server4you.com/.
Site has anonymous password protection with self-signed SSL.
Mercurial 1.5.3
Python 2.6.5
Python for Windows 32 extensions 214 py2.6
isapi-wsgi 0.4.2
The repositories are being served via ISAPI using the standard hgwebdir_wspi.py file (copy to follow).
Other problems with the repository server:
Before doing a clone/push/etc I have to browse the repositories first otherwise hg on my local machine can not locate the site.
I have one a repository with a large changeset that after a minute or so throw error "abort: error: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host". Will be asking another question for this problem.
What can I do to start tracking down this problem?
