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.

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.

OK, I checked the streams. Looking at the RTT of the connection in the 3-way handshake I get about 48ms. I also see that the trace was made at the server-side. The GET request and the SSL Close Notifiy come into your server only about 100 us apart, so the client (iPad) actively shuts down the connection before waiting on a response. Also the resending of the request is done only 699 us after the first request, so it could not be a user-action. I suspect there is something on the site that does not play nice with the iOS Safari browser and makes it abort the request. Do you see the same behavior with other objects on the site?

Cheers,
