I have a real odd problem with an ASA running 8.0.3.19 code when logging into Https websites. I get logged in but cant browse certain pages on the websever after I am authenticated. I have tried changing my mtu as well as my mss to no availability. I upgraded to 8.03.19 after trying 8.0.3 with no luck. Additionally I have accessed this site from another client location running 7.2.4 and it works like a champ.

Any ideas?
 
Does this happen with all HTTPS sites of just certain ones? Is the issue sporadic?
Im assuming that the logs do not contain any reliant information. I would probably start with a packet capture on the egress interface. This may reveal information of where the fault lies (such as a RST packet sent from the server).

If your not familiar on running a capture feel free follow the steps outlines here:
Since this only happens after authentication, if this were something that was only happening for a certain site, I would be inclined to think is has to do with the ssl certificate for that site. If its happening for all sites, it could be an issue with the cryptography engine on the firewall.
