Known bug using IE and SSL other than on port 443. Assuming you have used the defaults you will be using SSL on port 8443 for Tomcat and IE won't do the redirect unless you specify https://tomcat:8443/etc. I'll take a guess that your application works fine with Netscape!
The easiest solution is to reconfigure your Tomcat to use port 443 for SSL requests and then everything works fine. Otherwise, drop Mr. Gates a line and ask him to get it fixed.

However, if I try to access the same site from IE6 on NT 4 or Windows 98, something fails in the SSL handshake and I cannot access any of the pages on my site. I installed all the latest OS patches on the clients and then it works fine. However, I cannot rely on all my clients having all the latest OS updates, especially since these older OS machines were perfectly capable of accessing other SSL sites without being updated. Has anyone experienced similar problems,or know what the problem is? I am running tomcat 4.1.29 on linux with Sun's JDK 1.4.2 (although the same problem occurs running Tomcat on NT4) Thanks Dave --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
