I am running apache 1.3.12 + mod_ssl 2.6.4 (openssl 0.9.5a) + mod_php
3.0.16 on RH Linux 6.0, though this problem has occurred in previous
versions of the software (e.g. 1.3.9 + prev. mod_ssl). mod_ssl is
installed as a dso.
A user clicks a "submit" button on a form, or even a link, on an insecure
page which loads a secure page. In my testing, occasionally the first time
you click the button it will come up with a server error e.g. "can't find
page". Clicking the back arrow and clicking the button again always works,
and the problem will not recur in that session, but of course most users
won't figure this out! I generally use IE5 which is where this error has
been happening, I haven't been able to reproduce it yet in Netscape. The
action of the URL is a complete url (e.g. "https://xxx.xxx.xxx/x.php3")
which happens to be a different domain -- but same physical server - than
the referring page, though I can't imagine that this could be related.
Any ideas? My gut tells me that the server hangs for a sec when first
starting a secure session and for some reason. (My server hosts a few
fairly low traffic web sites). I thought installing it as a DSO might help
but it still happens. I can't seem to create a specific circumstance under
which it will happen - e.g. if I restart httpd it won't do it the first
time I hit the site, it just happenssometimes.
