I have not yet tried 2.6.21.. only tried to 2.6.20.9. The issue isn't
browser dependent ,as a wget directly from the OS will also fail during the
connection. Interestingly requests made from hosts behind the 2.6.20 gateway
that make the same request work fine, it seems it's only requests made from
the localhost itself.
