Tempting fate by claiming a bug...but although I'm sure I'm at fault
here, there's no sensible reason for the results I'm getting.
When I view one of several different pages with IE5, the last 11 bytes
don't reach the browser. I've got a couple of other people to try it
out. One of them reported the same symptoms, the other didn't. I
don't get it with Netscape.
I'd *really* appreciate it if anyone who has IE5 could have a go at
http://test.jamkit.com
and let me know (you can tell if the bug's happened if the source ends
abruptly with something like '</ta').
Things I've deduced:
- http://test.jamkit.com/index_html works :S
- It's not related to the bad HTML in that example page (I've tried
pages with perfect HTML)
- It's related to how I've built the page (the Zope Welcome screen is
fine, other pages built using the same product don't work. The
product I'm building is a folderish thing with lots of extra
navigational services)
- it's always the last 11 bytes that are missing, however large the
page is
- I've sent exact copies of the HTTP headers to the server, using
telnet, and there's no problem there
I imagine the fact that I can make it work by adding index_html is the
most telling point, but it's not telling me anything ;)
I'll continue my research by eliminating elements until I've nailed down
exactly the bit that's messing it up. Right now, though, I have to go
to bed. Meanwhile, any comments?
Cheers,
