Transfer-Chunk Encoding (Including ASP) May Cause 800c0008 Error
ID: Q177231
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows 95
-
Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows NT 4.0
SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) version 4.0 to browse web
pages that use transfer-chunk encoding, such as Active Server Pages
(ASP), a pop-up may occur that contains the following error message:
IE cannot open site
http://<address>.
Could not complete the operation due to error 800c0008.
WORKAROUND
This problem is related to HTTP 1.1 transfer-chunk encoding. While
there is currently no client-side fix for this, Web servers can be
configured to disable transfer-chunk encoding, although doing so is not
recommended.
To disable transfer-chunk encoding in Internet Information Server (IIS),
which runs on Windows NT only, modify the ASP EnableChunkedEncoding
registry parameter as follows.
NOTE: This will have a small negative performance impact on all ASP access
to the computer.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide
problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
Start Registry Editor, and create the following ASP registry value in:
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/W3SVC/ASP/Parameters
Value Name: EnableChunkedEncoding
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0
Setting the EnableChunkedEncoding value to 0 will disable transfer-chunk
encoding.
