Hi,
While on the subject, is there an export version of Netscape with 128 bit
encryption? I had a problem similar to yours, but later found out that it
was because MSIE doesn't support IDEA, while I was telling the server that
it should only accept that algorithm. The thing that made me angry is that
the browser just hangs or gives you a stupid message telling it cannot
connect, in stead of just telling the truth, namely that it couldn't produce
the correct cipher for the server. They must be explicitly hiding that
message in MSIE...
Best regards,
Filip

Subject: msie AGAIN
ok, microsoft really Pis___ me off! Why can't they do anything right?
Enough of that, I'm just venting a little. Anyway, I've spent the last two
days trouble shooting this msie5x problem with https. I've read and reread
the manual and the FAQ. As well as searched for hours on the mailing lists.
I have found many things to try, like CipherSuite entries and SSLProtocol.
But I have still been unable to resolve the problem. As you can see from
my configurartion file I have tried many many things. The server that is
giving me problems was the first apache server I did (I used the rpms from
RedHat 6.2 apachessl server and loaded all the add on rpms that came with
it). Please don't tell me to reinstall not using the rpms it is not an
option on this server and yes I have stopped using those freaking rpms.
Anyway, could anyone please tell me what I got to do in my httpd.conf file
to get msie to view my https server pages. Oh, I have tried to view the
https pages with ie5.0, 5.01, 5.5 both 40 and 128 bit encryption and none
of them work. I can view the non-https pages just fine all versions of msie
and Netscape well view everything including the https pages just fine (Ahh,
long live Netscape.)
Thanks ahead of time for you thoughts on this problem of mine.

P.S. Sorry for pasting the whole darn thing here, but wanted to make sure
you had it all to look at.
