protocol/2181: MSIE 4.01 NT (sp3) cannot talk to 1.2.6. (fwd)

[Marc Slemko <ma...@znep.com>]

Erm... can anyone reproduce?

I am tempted to say "yea, so IE is broken what else is new..." mainly
because that is the truth.  But I don't see why this should be causing any
problems.  Probably something the user did.

Greetings,

Suddenly, sites that used to work are no longer working, reporting "an error occurred in the Windows Internet extensions". (MSIE 4.01 on NT sp3; I have some power toys installed, do not know about someone else who has reported the problem.)

I notice that all these sites are now running 1.2.6:
