I finally solved the problem. It is not Cocoon nor is it the sevlet container or apache. The problem is caused by corrupt IPTC profiles in some JPG Images. e.g.: Profile-iptc: 4496 bytes unknown: 0x00000000: ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffff03 ----------- 0x00000014: ffffffff ffffffff 03ff00 ------
Whereas most browsers don't care, some IE6 and 5.5 on Windows crash. I got this corrupt profiles by generating thumbnails with JMagick/ImageMagick. I used v.5.4.2. The latest v.5.4.9 seems to handle profiles correctly, but I now remove all profiles generally with JMagick image.profileImage("*", null); This also reduces the file size of may thumbnails dramatically. So this problem is completely OT. But maybe this clue can help others out of this hell. /Leo On Freitag, Oktober 4, 2002, at 04:10 Uhr, leo leonid wrote: > Hi, > most generally I would describe my problem with my cocoon-app as > follows: > > When accessing a > - servlet generated site This was a wrong assumption. I was put on this wrong track because I tested a static page from the local filesystem and the page rendered perfectly. In Another test with a static page from the server the page also rendered perfectly, as I know now, by accident it did not contain such harmful images. > - with (lots of) images > - using a recent versions of Internet Explorer (i.e.6) on windows > then IE stops loading images.
