Colin,

Lots of news abound on this topic. MSDN forums are hot on it as well. Here's
a primer:

Subject: [OT] Anyone noticing weirdness with MSIE 6.0 and HTTPS requests?

Not OpenSRS related at all, I'm sorry, but I thought this might be a good
forum to ask some people with well trafficked sites.

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).  Because of this, our scripts redirect them to another page.  Then, the
request for *that* page includes the POST data (i.e. the browser sends the
data with the second request, not the first).  You may see this on your end
as empty POST requests to your system.

It only seems to happen on MSIE 6.0 with the latest security patch from MS,
and only on SSL requests.  Just wondering if we're alone out here on this.

- Colin
