There's no way that's the ultimate solution, because we've *never* had
to do that. We've managed and tested our sites with NS4.7x, IE 4 and
5, and Mozilla (both Linux and Windows versions where applicable, and
I'm sure my Mac will behave similarly). I've never had to do that
talking directly to ZServer, or proxying via Apache. Do you have a
squid proxy or anything between your machine and the server?

You have a workaround, certainly, but I'd check any of the following
first: try Netscape on a different PC or a different OS, or reinstall
Netscape on the troublesome machine. Also, send a URL to the list that
gives you trouble, and we can see if any of our browsers have trouble
with it.
