The client waits very long and finaly shows a "cannot connect to server" message.
The same configuration files used with the OS/2 version of Apache 1.3.4 (the latest I had for testing) work correctly and secure pages are proxied correctly. Apache 1.3.4 on Win32 shows the same bug as 1.3.6, so it is not a new bug introduced with 1.3.6 but a NT platform specific one. >How-To-Repeat: Try any secure page such as https://www.ars.de (this server uses a private CA and not a certificate issued by Verisign etc. but this makes no difference). >Fix: Perhaps it is a compiler bug on Win32, because the same code works fine on OS/2 where a different compiler is used to build the executables. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
