[Zope] IE problems with Zope Solaris binary?

[Tino Wildenhain]

Hi Irene,

you can also debug on client side with ethereal or tcpwatch or whatever.
Ethereal would be the big hammer buts very powerful. (http://www.ethereal.com,
make sure you download libcap for windows too. You usually capture with
"port 80" as filter expression, then "follow tcp stream" on the packets).

It might be the problem if your windows clients use excessive HTTP1/1
in opposition to some old client on the other solaris box.

This can be a problem with threads. I think installation from sources
should fix that.

Regards
Tino
