Fred Bohle@NEON 08/25/2000 08:26 AM Olli, You didn't mention http version in the browsers. If Netscape is using 1.0 and IE is using 1.1, you may have a problem with omitting the Connection: header. I suggest adding a header line with Connection: close to tell the browser that you are closing the connection. The addition of a shutdown() call would help too. When all else fails, read the RFCs 1945 and 2616, available from www.ietf.org. Reading the Apache source code is useful too.
