We develop a web proxy server which impliments client side HTTP persistent connections. This seems to cause a bug in jQuery's docuemnt.ready() event handling, resulting in it failing to fire while the persistent connection (socket) to the proxy server from the web browser remains open.

This results in web pages which use the document.ready() event failing to load until the socket times-out and closes.

I have attached a packet capture file (pcap) which can be opened with the free Wireshark network protocol analyser. It shows the browser using a persistent connection to make requests to the proxy server which (as expected) remains open at the end of the transactions. This (I think) is the cause of the problem in jQuery's ready event handling logic.
