This article was previously published under Q190052 SYMPTOMS
When connecting to Netscape's Enterprise Server 3.0 or 3.5.1 using SSL
(https://), Internet Explorer 4.0x irregularly reports "Unrecognized
Response" server connection errors, fails to display images, or reports
JavaScript errors.
CAUSE
This is a mutual problem due to the interaction of Internet Explorer 4.0x
and Netscape Enterprise Server 3.0 or 3.5.1.
Netscape Enterprise Server is unexpectedly terminating persistent
connections under SSL.
Internet Explorer 4.0x attempts to resend an HTTP request along persistent
connections only a fixed number of times. If Enterprise Server unexpectedly
terminates more than one persistent connection, Internet Explorer stops
attempting to send the request and displays an error message or broken
image.
RESOLUTION
Netscape has released a 3.5.1 G patch to Enterprise Server that resolves
this and other SSL related problems.
MORE INFORMATION
At this time, this problem is not known to occur with any other HTTP server
product other than Netscape Enterprise Server 3.0 or 3.5.1. If this problem
is encountered with other HTTP servers, we will post more information in
this Knowledge Base article.
