Question

Including an http address using (for example, %INCLUDE{"http:/127.0.0.1/"}%) makes a topic very slow (20-30 secs) to be rendered. However previewing the topic does not suffer this penalty and renders correctly. I have searched around and found other (similar) reports as bugs: IncludeUrlIsSuperSlow, IncludeHTMLTakesLongTime. I even applied the patch mentioned in ProxiedIncludesBrokenImplementationBug, but the problem remains.

Another, may be unrelated, symptom is that every time an "http:" include is rendered within a topic the folowing entry in the web server error log:

Socket.pm: Argument "127.0.0.1" isn't numeric in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux/Socket.pm line 442.

Preview also shows a similar entry in the log, but does not take any appreciable time to render:

preview: Argument "127.0.0.1" isn't numeric in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux/Socket.pm line 442.

KeepAliveTimesOutWithIncludes mentins problems with the mixture of HTTP 1.0 and 1.1, but that doews not explain the difference between prexiew and view, rigth?

(Sorry for submitting this as a bug in IncludeHttpIsVerySlow without checking first in Support for advice :P )

It just ocurred to me that I have mod_perl active for view only. This may be the cause for the difference... but why?

Yes, I have just tested it: mod_perl makes my INCLUDE's very slow. What could be the reason?
