This has got me stumped, any help is much appreciated: I'm using IE6 and mod_perl 1.27 with apache 1.3.27. I have mod_rewrite and mod_proxy and mod_gzip compiled into the server, but have now disabled all of them until I sort this problem out. IE generates a request who's headers look like this from a sniffer's point of view:
POST /e/myg HTTP/1.1 Accept: */* Referer: http://ziptree.com/e/myg Accept-Language: en-us Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------7d31a435d08 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98) Host: ziptree.com Content-Length: 797 Connection: Keep-Alive Cache-Control: no-cache Cookie: ztid=52616e646f6d4956aca247f49143acab646412868d6eda23; ztid=52616e646f6d495616e14f825d3799273ac52995e708d08b It's only generating on request - I've double checked that. But in my access log I see this: 68.5.106.9 - - [16/Jul/2003:14:37:51 -0500] "POST /e/myg HTTP/1.1" 200 16 68.5.106.9 - - [16/Jul/2003:14:37:51 -0500] "-----------------------------7d31a435d08" 501 - (The two lines above have probably been split by your mail reader, but they both start with the ip 68.5...) Also, intermittently I get "Invalid method in request" reported in the error_log like this: [Wed Jul 16 14:37:51 2003] [error] [client 68.5.106.9] Invalid method in request -----------------------------7d31a435d08 It looks like Apache is getting confused by the boundary data and thinks it's another request. It's occured to me that this could be a bug in IE incorrectly specifying the boundry? One of the unpleasant side effects of this is that my user loses their session because what Apache considers the first 'request' does not contain a cookie, so we just issue a fresh session ID which overwrites the previous one. I found these in the list archives, but no replies to either. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/modperl/message/34118 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/modperl/message/52778 -- Mark Maunder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
