Hi all,

I have a problem where our Windows 2000 server drops HTTP/1.0 connections
without the keep-alive header given to it from the client end.

We need a server side fix, the GET command will return the header and then
drops the connection, just like if it was a HEAD command sent to it. If we
get ASP it doesn't drop the connection as asp uses buffers. It is not an
option to make all html and images go via the ASP interpreter.

HTTP/1.1 works perfectly with or without keep-alives in the header sent to
the server.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks
