I'm having quite a perplexing problem, and I was hoping someone could give
me a hint here on this list.

First, my environment:
- Solaris 2.6
- Apache 1.3.20
- modssl 2.8.4
- openssl 0.9.6b
- Weblogic 5.1
- MSIE 5.5 sp1

I'm using apache to frontend WebLogic through a BEA provided module.

My problem:
It seems similar to some of the archived posts on this list as well as a
section of the FAQ, as it is the "Server not found" error from MSIE. I start
out with a form retrieved over regular HTTP, and post a file upload to a
HTTPS URL. However, even after enabling the various fixes (SetEnvIf to
downgrade, etc) detailed in the FAQ and past posts, it still doesn't work. I
invariably get a server not found page. However, if I go to IE's
Tools->Internet Options->Advanced and uncheck "Show friendly HTTP error
messages", everything seems to work fine. Very weird.

The error posts never even show up in my apache or weblogic logs, though
after I turned the modssl log up to debug I can see some activity, and snoop
picks up the packets between machines.

Some other variables:
- I use self generated certificates, which generate an accept certificate
box in IE when it does work
- Non-standard ports: 8110 for http, 8115 for https, in a Virtual hosts. The
SetEnvIf downgrade is out in the main server config.
- When I do standard form posts (just fields) this problem rarely crops up,
if ever. 
- From the modssl debug logs, it looks like the multi-part form request
(file upload) establishes a regular ssl connection, which closes with a
standard shutdown, while a regular post does downgrade and uses an unclean
shutdown...

I have tried MANY different configurations, and I can't seem to get it to
work. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'd rather not go back to
serving http with weblogic (which doesn't seem to have a problem with IE).
