Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Duplicate HTTPS requests from iOS

[Samuel Vogel <samuel.vogel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm debugging a situation where we see duplicate HTTPS requests from iOS 5 & 6 devices with nginx 1.4.1. The first request seems to be cancelled by the client, but the package gets lost and now the new, repeated and the original request are both executed. This way the article ends up in the shopping cart twice.

Only one request is actually seen by iOS Safari / jQuery. This issue is reproducible most of the time (lets say 75 % of the cases) on two completely different servers with different hosting providers (Hetzner & Host Europe in Germany) but not with different browsers. It always follows the exact same pattern.

I'm pretty sure this can't be coincidental anymore, but have now idea what could cause this. It would be great if anybody could have  a look at my capture:
