I've found that I have to force HTTP 1.0 responses to get all versions of
MSIE clients to get them to work reliably, especially during long running
CGI responses.

I use this line in my SSL virtual host section which seems to be doing the
trick so far:

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

It doesn't help performance any, but it's better than seeing spurious errors
from MSIE clients.
