Interesting. www.microsoft.com does not respond in 1.1 to 1.1 requests. Ok more data on where the potential problem is. live.wired.com is a redirect to www.hotwired.com/livewired. IE4 PR2 hangs completely if you enter live.wired.com. If you ask live.wired.com a 1.1 request, here's what you get: HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily Date: Wed, 16 Jul 1997 21:51:58 GMT Server: Apache/1.2b11-dev HotWired/1.2 Location: http://www.hotwired.com/livewired/ Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html bb 302 Moved Temporarily

0 That's correct, and valid. But the following are potential problems where they could have screwed up: - the connection is kept-alive, because all HTTP/1.1 connections are kept-alive - it's chunked, because a client MUST implement chunked encodings - the bb is actually "bb ", with the trailing space (because that's how I implemented it, for speed -- apache guessed the chunk would require three digits to represent, but it only took two). The standard allows trailing but not leading spaces on the chunk length. There was a PR about this ages ago, so I expect this to be a common problem. I've given the wired folks a workaround for each of the cases, I'll hopefully know soon if any of them helped. Dean
