Netscape Clients Hang While Posting Data to SSL Forms on IISLast reviewed: April 22, 1997Article ID: Q150508 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen using a Netscape Browser to connect to a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protected form on the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), the browser appears to hang when submitting the form data to the server by the POST method.
CAUSEA timing window exists in IIS where the service may lose received data. IIS waits for data from the client (which was already sent), and the Netscape Browser waits since it has sent the data.
RESOLUTIONThis timing window has been eliminated.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Information Server version 1.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
S E R V P A C KNetscape Navigator is manufactured by Netscape, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
