Hi List. Sorry for this not being specifically OpenSSL related.
 
I successfully installed SSL into my win32 Apache server (1.3.14 / 2.7.2 / 0.9.6) and it seemed to be working properly. However, some client connections are timing out. The problematic connections appear to have the following characteristics (without having done a whole lot to confirm this):
 
1. They're coming from behind a corporate firewall w/ web proxy (I think it's an Apache proxy, but I'm not sure. Could be a MS system.)  The same transmission from a generic ISP seems to work fine.  The same transmission to a Unix-based Apache w/ mod_ssl works properly.
 
2. Timeouts seem to only happen for HTTP POSTs that are on the lengthier side. Short transmissions (e.g. 750 bytes) from the same system behind the same proxy work reliably. Longer ones (e.g. 2k) usually, but not always, result in a timeout in the browser.
 
I really haven't done much digging yet to diagnose the problem, but if this kind of trouble rings any bells for someone, I'd really appreciate the head-start.
 
Thanks,
Peter Cardona
