Yes, just seen this on another list from a tech guru : It matches the *exact* symptoms you describe
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#ToC49 For apache, use : SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \ nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 It's micro$ fault for producing flaky browser versions, apparently. PS - Isn;t this a PHP / My SQL list ? Just a thought, but Jefferey perhaps this sort of stuff is better on the Apache/ModSSL lists? Cheers, Neil Smith.

The server logs are providing precisely no information about the cause of the problem, so I'm mailing in the desperate hope that someone on the list might have encountered something similar and, even better, found a solution. Symptoms -------- Form at https://foo.bar/cgi-bin/blurp.cgi, submitting to same URL. Sometimes works, sometimes gives dreaded IE page "This page cannot be displayed" / Cannot find server or DNS Error". [Gripe: why does IE subtract information by conflating these two different possible causes of failure into a single message?] When this occurs, the URL in the location bar is correct, i.e. https://foo.bar/cgi-bin/blurp.cgi . No apparent regularity or link to submitted data. The problem occurs on two different servers on different networks under different domains, running different OS's and different web server versions. But only, it seems, with IE. Server Platform --------------- Linux or BSD / Apache / mod_perl, various versions Browser Platform ---------------- IE5 on Windows 2000. Problem does not occur with Netscape on Windows or Linux. Server log messages ------------------- I have littered the blurp.cgi script with debug messages. When the problem occurs, nothing appears in either the error or access log, so it appears that IE really does fail to contact the server. ] -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
