In answer to Giorgio Maone:
When anyone wants to Log-on to the Online Lloyds Bank system you go to Web Page
https://online.lloydstsb.co.uk/personal/logon/login.jsp
(anybody can get this initial page, and you have to enter the usual User ID and password and hit return.
The bank system then checks the validity of the Userid/password combination (and I think there may be some sort of hidden cookie exchange/request, if this is successful a new page appears asking for additional personal information of
three characters chosen at random from a unique word (say character 1,5 and 7) - it varies each time.
Up to 2.6.6 rc4, the above second stage is successful and after entering the 3 characters successfully, I can enter my
online account with the bank.
with 2.6.6 rc5 onwards, it is possible to enter the initial User ID and password successfully it seems, at which point my screen states
"Waiting" at the bottom of the web-page until, eventually it times out and the system crashes. I do not get to the second stage which asks for the three unique characters.
When the system crashes I get an additional message that I tried to copy and add to this Forum message but I then found that whatever had happened to my browser, it was still affecting my system because when I tried to add the info, I found that it was preventing me from adding the data to this Forum page. I then got the following message
" Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Server at ariel.informaction.com Port 80"
I had to revert back to 2.6.6 rc4 in order to add these extra comments.
Now I will log off, change to 2.6.6 rc5 and try to log back into the forum again
