? I think I've only removed keep alives and HTTP 1.1 on PPC Macintosh
machines running Netscape 4+. If there is more disabled, it's a result of
the default config of mod_ssl.

Closer to this;

<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
    BrowserMatch "Mozilla/2" nokeepalive
    BrowserMatch "MSIE 4\.0b2;" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
    BrowserMatch "RealPlayer 4\.0" force-response-1.0
    BrowserMatch "Java/1\.0" force-response-1.0
    BrowserMatch "JDK/1\.0" force-response-1.0
    BrowserMatch "Mozilla/4\..*PPC)$" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0
force-response-1.0
</IfModule>

Which I will remove the new entry and then change to;

<IfDefine SSL>
        AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt
        AddType application/x-pkcs7-crl    .crl
        <VirtualHost 192.168.3.11:443>

                DocumentRoot "/usr/local/www/secure"
                ServerName www.rblc.com
                php_value session.cache_limiter "nocache"

   .... lines removed for clarity ...

                SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \
                 nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
                 downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

                SetEnvIf User-Agent "Mozilla/4\..*PPC)$" \
                 nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 \
                 force-response-1.0
                
        </VirtualHost>
</IfDefine>

This will, I believe, stop the hanging with Netscape 4+ on the Mac in the
secured area of my web site. Note that this area is a paying member area and
broadband is a requirement for the client. All other areas of the site will
still allow Netscape 4+ and MSIE 5+ to enjoy keep alives and HTTP 1.1
performance.

That would be akin to throwing my hands into the air, which I never do ;^)

It's not like I have to type a new httpd.conf entry every hour. If one line
in httpd.conf works for even 10% of my client base that is better than
simplifying the setup and crippling everyone.

So the problem isn't solved, just "avoided" at this point. I think it's
agreed something is wrong then and I should compile all the current
information and file a bug report.
