If you could report the exact conditions which cause this it would
help, otherwise not much anyone can do. A few weeks ago someone
reported a similar "bug", but not quite the same. (If it is a public
url, please include it.)


I am not sure I follow - I don't have a server. I am using the client, http::geturl, to fetch yahoo's main page. Here is the call that causes trouble:

set file_id [open myfile.html w]
http::geturl http://www.yahoo.com -channel $file_id \
-blocksize 4096 timeout 60000
close $file_id


This call will block for a minute and then the file contains partial data from yahoo. Same thing works with the previous http::geturl version.



If you want to compare with a different http client, you could test my
experimental htclient:


Thanks, I think I may do that if this does not lead anywhere.
