Re: SSL enabled -> nokeepalive in MSIE for non-SSL connections

[Marc Stern]

It's a bit more complex than that.   At a certain point, a fix was released for IE 6 to correct the incompatibility that needed the 'ssl-unclean-shutdown' directive (I guess it's KB 831167). At this point, we had two different flavours of IE+SSL floating around.   Although we can determine if the browser is IE 4, 5, or 6, it seems impossible to determine if the mentionned fix was applied or not on a IE 6 browser.   The biggest problem is that, if you add the directive, the latest versions of IE 6 cannot establish the SSL session.   Marc   ----- Original Message ----- From: "Olaf van der Spek" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <dev@httpd.apache.org> Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 3:37 PM Subject: Re: SSL enabled -> nokeepalive in MSIE for non-SSL connections   > Joe Orton wrote: >> All versions need unclean shutdown at least, not sure about keepalive. >> If you >> have new data to provide on this front that's great and very welcome, >> please >> send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  bugzilla is not a discussion or support forum, however. > > I've been running without > SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \ >         nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ >         downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 > for a few months now and I haven't encountered any issues with IE. > So I think it's safe to drop this work around. >
