I had a discussion with someone about this off the list, but we didn't resolve it. Until recently we too used a reverse proxy to connect to Exchange 5.5, but this became too much hassle to keep up.
How about turning off keep-alives on the Exchange 2000 server? This might help, as keep-alives don't give very much performance advantage anyway. After all, the apache-mod_ssl server will have keep-alives disabled (or should do). - John Airey, BSc (Jt Hons), CNA, RHCE Internet systems support officer, ITCSD, Royal National Institute of the Blind, Bakewell Road, Peterborough PE2 6XU, Tel.: +44 (0) 1733 375299 Fax: +44 (0) 1733 370848 [EMAIL PROTECTED] If we could learn one thing from September 11th 2001, it would be the utter absurdity of moral relativism. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Haar [mailto:Jason.Haar@;trimble.co.nz] > Sent: 07 November 2002 08:04 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Is anyone successfully runnin OWA2K behind Apache/mod_ssl? > > > We're using Apache/mod_ssl to provide a reverse-proxy to some > backend Web > servers, and want to add OWA2K to the list (that's Outlook > Web Access for > Microsoft Exchange 2000). > > It works fine with OWA from Exchange 5.5 - which was > basically just HTML > plus some javascript - but OWA2K (under IE5+) uses all sorts > of whizzy M$ > stuff, and doesn't work! > > If you access OWA2K with a non-IE browser (e.g. Mozilla), > OWA2K reverts to > the older format and works fine - it just doesn't work well > from IE (ironic > isn't it :-) > > It's pretty flakey.
