SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to connect to a MAPS 2.5 signup system or an HMI mail system with Internet Explorer 4.0, 4.01, 4.01 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and use a proxy to connect, one of the following error messages may occur:

Object Moved. The object may be found

Internet Explorer cannot open the site URL: the connection to the server was reset.

Internet Explorer cannot open the internet URL: the downloaded file is not available. This could be due to your security language setting or because the server was unable to retrieve the requested file.



CAUSE
Certain versions of Internet Explorer do not properly handle an HTTP/1.1 302 redirect returned from a Proxy Server.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, upgrade Internet Explorer to Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2 or Internet Explorer 5.0.



WORKAROUND
In ASP pages, do not use the Response.redirect. Instead, use the following function:

Function XRedirect(sURL)

Response.Buffer = True

Response.Clear

Response.Status = "301 Moved"

Response.AddHeader "Location", sURL

Response.End

End Function

This workaround will work for doing redirects in your MAPS ASP pages or HMI ASP pages, but will not address redirects that occur in the Site Server 3.0 Authentication ISAPI filter. For those situations, you will need to upgrade the browser.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Commercial Internet System 2.5.
