Hi!
 =


  =

 =


Since about two month I=92m fighting a
problem some IE users have: on send of a form they don=92t receive an
answer from the web server.
 =


Tcpdump shows that the packets arrive at
the web server but apache2.2 just ignores them.
 =


I disabled https on the internal site to
make debugging easier but the problem still exists.
 =


The time the error occurred first was about
the same as I upgraded from apache2 to 2.2 (debian etch).
 =


I search for bug reports on apache2.2 but
didn=92t find any.
 =


  =

 =


Swapping mod_perl for fastcgi didn=92t change
anything either.
 =


It also makes no difference if the client
accesses the web server directly or over a proxy.
 =


Strange is that the problem never occurs on
my workstation, neither with IE6 (MS virtual pc image) nor with IE7.
 =


  =

 =


Has anyone experienced something similar or
has suggestions?
 =

Thanks in advance!

With best regards

Sorry, I think you'll need to start adding a ton of debug output to see wha=
t's going on.  I'm not sure if this is a Catalyst issue or a networking iss=
ue.  IE tends to play a little rough with the rules, as I am sure you know.


If you are sure the problem is inside Catalyst you can try running Apache i=
n debug with Apache::DB (http://search.cpan.org/~fwiles/Apache-DB-0.13/DB.p=
m) to see if you can spot where the requests are being ignored.


Or try a stripped down Apache with just mod_perl installed.  You can compil=
e it very light.  I am actually doing with to make an version of apache tha=
t only does mod_perl, for example.


Since you don't have the problem I am guessing it could be trouble with the=
 clients network connection or computer.  Do they have this problem with ot=
her applications.


Tell us a little more about your catalyst setup and why you suspect the tro=
uble is inside of Cat and not in the network or configuration.   Good luck.
