Jerry,

 

 

I had a similar issue. By unchecking "Keep Accept Encoding" from the http profile, errors with javascripts disappeared. OWA no longer will hang.

You were still doing compression on the F5, right? Just to explain further, the Keep Accept-Encoding option is meant to control whether Accept-Encoding header, which controls whether client is able to do compression or not, is passed on to the server. By default, F5 will strip Accept-Encoding header if it is doing compression, from the request that is forwarded on to the server to prevent server from compressing content. Pretty much any application that leverages F5 for doing compression should have Keep Accept Encoding box unchecked.
