I've done a little more testing, and it seems like turning OFF the "Show friendly http error pages" option in MSIE allows apache/mod_ssl to downgrade the connection to HTTP/1.0 correctly. Turning it back on again leads to a situation where it is NOT downgraded, and you get the "server not found" page. Again, this is only for file uploads.

First, my environment: - Solaris 2.6 - Apache 1.3.20 - modssl 2.8.4 - openssl 0.9.6b - Weblogic 5.1 - MSIE 5.5 sp1 I'm using apache to frontend WebLogic through a BEA provided module. My problem: It seems similar to some of the archived posts on this list as well as a section of the FAQ, as it is the "Server not found" error from MSIE. I start out with a form retrieved over regular HTTP, and post a file upload to a HTTPS URL. However, even after enabling the various fixes (SetEnvIf to downgrade, etc) detailed in the FAQ and past posts, it still doesn't work. I invariably get a server not found page. However, if I go to IE's Tools->Internet Options->Advanced and uncheck "Show friendly HTTP error messages", everything seems to work fine. Very weird. The error posts never even show up in my apache or weblogic logs, though after I turned the modssl log up to debug I can see some activity, and snoop picks up the packets between machines. Some other variables: - I use self generated certificates, which generate an accept certificate box in IE when it does work - Non-standard ports: 8110 for http, 8115 for https, in a Virtual hosts. The SetEnvIf downgrade is out in the main server config. - When I do standard form posts (just fields) this problem rarely crops up, if ever. - From the modssl debug logs, it looks like the multi-part form request (file upload) establishes a regular ssl connection, which closes with a standard shutdown, while a regular post does downgrade and uses an unclean shutdown... I have tried MANY different configurations, and I can't seem to get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'd rather not go back to serving http with weblogic (which doesn't seem to have a problem with IE). --peter ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
