[users@httpd] IE6 could crash with HTTP/1.1
Hello
i have some trouble with the recent microsoft patches where the IE6 could
crash on certain websites if he uses http1.1 and compression.
So i would configure my webserver so that he delivers only via http1.0
here is my config from http.conf on a debian sarge server:
BrowserMatchNoCase ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
This brings not the protocol that i want... any suggestions?
Bye Peter

Complain to Micro$oft. Get them to fix their browser. They broke it,
they can fix it. You should not have to work around this. There is a
hotfix available if you really want to try it.
Or switch to a proper browser!

If you haven't actually seen the problem yourself in the wild, then
why are you bothering with this? MS is not giving enough information
about the bug to reasonably work around it.

downgrade-1.0 does do that
But apache continues to report that it is capable of HTTP/1.1 as
required by the spec. That doesn't mean that the response isn't
HTTP/1.0.

Is it possible to force an HTTP/1.0 response even if the client can
HTTP/1.1?

This seems like overkill.
But anyway, how do you know that Apache is using HTTP/1.1? The fact
that HTTP/1.1 is used in the status line does *not* tell you what
protocol was used in the response. It simply indicates that the
server is capable of HTTP/1.1. And force-response-1.0 will only
change that if the client uses a HTTP/1.0 request.
