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).
Also before doing a clone/push/etc I have to browse the repositories first otherwise hg on my local machine can not locate the site.
What can I do to start tracking down this problem?
