Running under IRIX 6.2 using Apache 1.2.5. Problem with various clients
(MSIE 3.0.2 under Windows 95. Sometimes problem arises with Netscape 3.x
on both the Mac and Win95 clients.
>Description:
With all versions of Apache 1.2.x under IRIX 6.2 (an Iris R4400 Indigo
serving as a multi-homed webserver for my institute), GIF images larger than
say 76KB sometimes fail to download completely. Setting the various
keepalives settings solved the problem on some clients
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 0
But still under MSIE 3.02 Win95 clients, images sometimes fail to download
completely. The problem occurs only under a fast (ethernet) connection.
Under a dialup connection, images download properly. The problem is present
on all our MSIE 3.02 clients.
