Hi Russell, well, it's a server on the internet. Neither is the webserver itself connected by a proxy nor is the person connecting to the server connected using a proxy. That's what really strikes me.
I also took a look at the "downgrade-1.0"-switches in httpd.conf etc. - but they are just normal and only affect MSIE 4.x regarding the BrowserMatch-regex. Hmm - any ideas why IE all of a sudden might "fallback" to HTTP/1.0 instead of the HTTP/1.1 it always used? A really, really strange thing to me and I don't know where to search unfortunately :-( Stefan On 22 Oct 2003 at 1:30, Russell Coker wrote: > On Wed, 22 Oct 2003 00:36, Stefan Neufeind wrote: > > My question is just: Why does the browser (MS IE 6.0, Windows 98, > > ...) query the Apache 1.3.28-server with HTTP 1.0?
