Firefox stalls on redirect to CAS #441
Description
Hi, phpCAS v1.6.0 as supplied with moodle v4.1.4 here.
It seems that the redirect to the CAS auth page obtained at URL http://moodle.server/login.php?authCAS=CAS makes Firefox stall waiting for page content; Chrome changes URL immediately without delay instead.
The reply sent by the server is as follows:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
< Server: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
< Date: Tue, 09 Jul 2024 09:12:22 GMT
< Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

< Set-Cookie: MoodleSession=xxxxxxxxxxx; path=/

Since the connection is keep-alive and the transfer is chunked Firefox is likely waiting a content that never arrives.
Is this a moodle issue or a phpCAS issue? How can I change the Connection header to "Connection: close", which seems to fix this issue?
Thanks a lot in advance for support!
P.S.: adding a "Content-Length: 0" header should also work
