Hi, I have spent hours trying to figure this out and have searched the bug database and the mailing list archives, and have not had any luck, so I am posting it here.
The story: * I am building a web application using tomcat and struts. * This application is a simple, four-form system, with one form following another. Forms are JSPs. * Everything works using an HTTP connector. * Everything works using an HTTPS connector and lynx or IE. Now the story gets strange. When I use mozilla or netscape for linux, or netscape for NT, the first two forms function correctly but the third does not. Viewing the page source shows that the browser is receiving the HTML correctly, but is not displaying it. Netscape 4.x on NT says 'Connection reset by peer.' There are no errors in any of the tomcat logs. If I try a GET request for the third form (ie. type its URL into the address bar of a browser) then it is displayed correctly. It is only when I try to get it by submitting another form that things go wrong. This form has its method set to POST. This third form does not involve any struts actions or actionforms. It is a JSP, and the form on the previous page has its 'action' property set to the JSP URL, not an action. This problem persists even if I cut the third form down to this: <html><head>Hello</head><body>Hello.</body></html> My conclusion is that the SSL connector is probably setting the Content-Length header incorrectly, causing browsers that look at that header to expect more content than is actually being sent, hence the 'Connection reset by peer' message despite the HTML being received correctly. Has anyone come across this before? Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?
