Chrome browsers slow in loading OWA 2010 behind TMG

We have noticed that Chrome browsers have significant delay in loading websites through a reverse proxy server like TMG. Issue: There is a new feature in Chrome called SSL False Start which is supposed to speed up your SSL connections. Unfortunately, the end result against sites published by TMG is they don’t ever load unless the user manually refreshes the page a 2nd time. Keep in mind this applies to any SSL website published by TMG and accessed by a user with Chrome, not just Lync Web App or Outlook Web App. There is also an issue open on Google Code about this problem, http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=67617, but there is no server-side fix. At this time the only solution is to modify the Google Chrome shortcut to disable the SSL False Start feature. Just modify your shortcut to be “chrome.exe -disable-ssl-false-start” and all is well.
