I've got email into the IT staff of both users, so hopefully I'll find
out if it really is just an old version of IE. If they reply.
But, it's hard to imagine that there's not more to this. It's hard
for me to believe that these users have never posted a form before in
SSL mode. It's not like I'm doing anything that complex in these
forms. Very odd.
Reading around, I can't find anywhere that says "an updated IE" will _have_ the fix KB831167. It _seems_ to be the case that it must be applied separately, apart from the normal Windows updates. I haven't found any links in other updates that say it has been included in following updates.
I take it as a very bad sign that the download page for "Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1" has as its leading "What Others Are Downloading" item
1. Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB831167)
Does anybody know whether this fix (released in 2004) is guaranteed to be in recent IEs ?
Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 download page:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1e1550cb-5e5d-48f5-b02b-20b602228de6&DisplayLang=en
BTW: I wonder why no one has gotten the domain farceforge.com and forwarded it to microsoft.com ?
