Content load stalls for IE7, nginx 0.7.62, SSL

[njvack]

Hi all,

We're running an app under rails / unicorn / nginx / ubuntu, and for some of our users under IE7, the login page doesn't completely render -- it gets most of the way done and hangs. It's intermittent, though standard cache clearing / restarting doesn't seem to fix it. We haven't had any reports of it hanging on any non-SSL page, which leads me to suspect something in our nginx config rather than the rails stack -- though I'm far from certain.

I've done a fair amount of googling on this and haven't come up with anything concrete. Anyone know any gotchas for SSL config with IE?

In case it matters, we're running a star cert from GoDaddy, and not relying on SNI to handle our multiple hostnames.

Also, here's a URL that will (sometimes) exhibit the problem:  https://test2.gimlet.us/users/login

Thanks in advance -- let me know if I can make anythng clearer.

Cheers,
-Nate
