[users@httpd] Apache 2 problem

Hello:

Some time ago, I posted here that when I connect to
a directory with many files with Apache 2 (Win32), the
listing is not working well. Different browsers behave
different way, IE makes wild reloads, or breaks the list.
Mozilla also breaks and does not list all the files.
Netscape too has little problems. I though it is a problem
of browsers, but now I tried to install Apache 1.3, and
there is absolutely no problem. All 1,800 files are
perfectly listed without any flaw.

Now I think it might be Apache 2 bug. I'm not informatisict,
so anyone wants to look into that, or report it?

It might be because the bug is process/thread related, and Apache 1.3 and
2.0 is quite different in that area on Windows.

Yes I am.

But they say it's for both Apache 1.3 and 2.0. I don't see
any problems with 1.3. Maybe if I try to experiment little more,
I'll see something.

Cheers,

I am guessing you are using Windows XP, right?
If so, this is most likely a bug in the OS that is prominent when large
dynamic content is generated, see here:
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/#xpbug
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q317949

The 'reloads' that IE makes is because it recieves garbages and tries to
fetch it over and over again.

It is said that Service Pack 1 fixes this issue, but I have heard some
people that had to explicitly install the HotFix for this issue.

Yup. Report it in the Apache.org website.
