Aren't Windows-based web sites that generate dynamic content and
don't provide a Content-Length fun?

If you are not using a Windows-based system, not using Internet
Explorer, and not going through a web proxy server; you'll get a
timeout. Click your browser's reload button and the page will
display immediately.

The web site needs to fix their portal software and generate a
Content-Length.
