MSIE very loosely honors the HTTP/1.1 spec. If your webserver
is setup to allow HTTP/1.1 connection with keep-alives then MSIE
will keep the connection open even if the user has hit stop. It also
does weird things the a keep-alive timeout.
You could try forcing the webserver to not allow keep-alives and
trying the same test to see if you get an exception or not. I don't
remember from the start of the thread if you are using one of the apache
modules or talking straight to Tomcat.
