Hi,
I have set up an Apache 1.3.14 + mod_ssl 2.7.1 on a box
which acts as an https-to-http proxy (i.e. it proxies https
connections from the outside world to a http server in the
intranet which is not capable of doing https itself).
It works very well, except when accessed via MS Internet
Explorer (we're using version 5.5) from a LAN. I am not
a Windows expert at all, so I have no clue about this.
Netscape via dial-up: no problem
Netscape via LAN: no problem
Explorer via dial-up: no problem
Explorer via LAN: *problem*
where "problem" means that it takes 15 - 20 minutes (!!!)
to receive a single page. At the same time, the following
appears in the ssl_engine log (line wrapped for clarity):
[19/Jan/2001 18:20:19 08196] [info] \
Spurious SSL handshake interrupt\
[Hint: Usually just one of those OpenSSL confusions!?]
We have no idea what might be causing the problem.
Interestingly it works fine when accessing from a dial-up
line (ISDN or whatever), and with Netscape it works either
way. Also, "normal surfing" works fine in all cases. All
of the clients (Netscape and Explorer) are running on
Windows.
Does anyone have an idea?
Regards
Oliver
PS: The Apache SSL server is running on a BSD/OS 4.0.1
machine, if that matters.
PPS: Please Cc: me, I'm not on the list. (Yes, I know, I
_should_ be on the list.)
