One more try with the response to client question

[sv...@alventive.com]

Trying again and making sure that I didn't send HTML... I mean it this
time...  I have been having problems with outlook.  Anyways I have
made a little progress in this area and I have found that I am not
getting a carriage return after the POST data from the NetCache
server.  Should this matter?  I though that was the problem until I
realized that in other test I POST plenty of data that does not have a
CRLF and have no problems.

Thanks for the attention, and the original message follows.

I think this may be more appropriately addressed on a "users" mailing
list but I couldn't find one, so please forgive me:

I am running an apache http server (1.3.20) Windows 2000 (sp2 I
believe).  This server is serving content to the world from behind a 
NetCache server (a caching reverse proxy).

Here's my problem.... 
I'm trying to POST data to this server, however if the content-type 
is not multipart/form-data and the content-length is more than say... 
25600, then Apache does not send the response until the NetCache
server hits it's timeout and sends a TCP packet with the "final" bit 
set (closing the connection I assume).  If I use multipart/formdata as
is composed by a web browser (IE) then everything works.  However, I
need to be able to do text/xml and application/octet-stream from a
java applet.

I did not see this problem when testing and connecting directly to the
apache server. 

Has anyone seen similar behavior or does this make any kind of sense?
I think it may be a problem with the os (as it's been "hardened") but
I would like to know what I'm talking about before I pursue this with
MS tech support.

Many Thanks.
