I can certainly corroborate this; much of our customer service is done using SSL, and they use IE6 (mostly). In the past month I've gotten many complaints about this. Finding nothing amiss with AOLserver, I could only suggest that they switch to Mozilla. Is this an AOLserver / IE6 interaction,

Thanks. I applied that update and based on preliminary testing seemed to resolve the problem. The problem now is that I dealing with external users so I can't apply the patch to their system. So I'm looking for ways to handle. I was wondering if there is an http status code so that the browser

Hi there, yes, I have earlier reported this behaviour and I got lots of help from both Scott Goodwin and Piotr Szuca. However, I never found a working solution. You find some of the earlier posting around March and April 2003 and then up to January 2004. -- Niels -- AOLserver -

You might try registering a proc for POST that checks the content-length. If content-length is 0 or it doesn't match the size of the content itself, you could generate an error page that pointed the user off to the patch and that describes the issue. You could also give them the option to re-POST

We are noticing that maybe 1 out of 20 HTTPS requests from our clients using MSIE 6.0 are failing. Further digging seems to suggest that the data that should be POSTed with the request isn't (i.e. content-length: 0). It seems that this is related to a MSIE Explorer patch Q832894. Thanks,
