Checkout hangs because of Redirect

[davidinottawa]

Hi guys - I have a problem after the client clicks the Confirm button on the checkout_confirmation page.

 

Hitting submit in the checkout_confirmation page calls the checkout_process page.

At the end of checkout_process is a simple redirect to checkout_success :

 

It is here that the page is hanging for sometimes 90 seconds! Here is the line from checkout_process :

 

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SUCCESS, '1', 'SSL'));

 

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this ? Could it be a server isssue ? The tep_redirect function simply returns the header ('Location : ') php function :

 

function tep_redirect($url) {

if ( (ENABLE_SSL == true) && (getenv('HTTPS') == 'on') ) { // We are loading an SSL page

if (substr($url, 0, strlen(HTTP_SERVER)) == HTTP_SERVER) { // NONSSL url

$url = HTTPS_SERVER . substr($url, strlen(HTTP_SERVER)); // Change it to SSL

}

}

 

header('Location: ' . $url);

 

tep_exit();

}

 

In my tests - I'll receive the confirmation email *beofre* I see the success page in the browser!

 

HELP!

 

 

 

Within this page - the last process is a redirect
