No, neither site uses https: at all. They're completely different CMSes too... ( although both PHP based so there could be some commonality there ). Cheers, Steve On Wed, 2014-07-02 at 15:36 +1200, Dave Mill wrote:

Do all the POSTs and logins, etc tend to use HTTPS and the working stuff uses HTTP? If so its likely an MTU issue somewhere.

I have a couple of websites running on separate VPSes at Optus in Sydney, and they are showing exactly the same symptoms: they seem to be working fine if routing from NZ via Voda or TC / Vocus, but if using Telecom, they can't POST anything at all - can view webstes no bother, but logging in, filling in forms, forget it.

Any ideas? I set up both sites so may have done something weird ( I'm on voda! ) and not noticed.

Quote from forum user - pretty succinct:

"At work - no problems - we use a Telstra/Voda link to Oz then out to the world through corporate IT there. Works like a dream. Response times are <1ms.

On mobile 3/4G via Vodafone it works okay, no performance or login issues that I can tell.

At home, my old man's place, and the in-laws place, all Telecom (and Wi-Fi onto my iDevices) it is okay to browse without being logged in but as soon as you log in it either 1.) logs you straight out of whatever page your on when you navigate to another page, or 2.) it runs like arse and won't let you post, then logs you out. Basically unusable."

Is this a known problem with a simple fix, or have I stuffed up???

Cheers,

Steve

Now you have two problems...

Although you're not helping (lol) SPDY is the next step for at least one of them I think. -- Steve Holdoway BSc(Hons) MIITP http://www.greengecko.co.nz Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/steveholdoway Skype: sholdowa

Even without HTTPS, it's still potentially an MTU problem. GET requests are generally below ~1500 bytes, where POST request can often be over that (even just "small" ones like logins) Scott On Tue, Jul 1, 2014 at 8:36 PM, Dave Mill wrote:
