Hi all with the POST problem after installing the
recent IE patch:
As per Zeph's suggestion in the previous post on this
thread,
We have configured our Apache 1.3.x web server to turn
off HTTP keepalive for
IE6.0 with the following httpd.conf line:
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
#
# The following directives modify normal HTTP response
behavior.
# The first directive disables keepalive for Netscape
2.x and browsers that
# spoof it. There are known problems with these
browser implementations.
# The second directive is for Microsoft Internet
Explorer 4.0b2
# which has a broken HTTP/1.1 implementation and does
not properly
# support keepalive when it is used on 301 or 302
(redirect) responses.
#
BrowserMatch "MSIE 6\.0;" nokeepalive
</IfModule>
I have tried many times to repeat the sporadic problem
that had been happening
after I installed the latest IE patch and I cannot seem to
make it happen now.
So, I believe that his workaround fixes the problem for us.
