What is interesting to me is that the exact same client code only using a different url (i.e. to a normal http servlet, not a comet servlet) succeeds. Is there something in comet response headers that an antivirus app or firewall would pick up on? Why would a request to a normal servlet succeed and a comet servlet fail? Keep in mind the comet servlet has been shown to be funtional on numerous other machines.
I believe I disabled all firewalls and antivirus on the suspect machine, but I will double-check.
