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.

<div class="cause_section">

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.

<div class="resolution_section">

RESOLUTION
Netscape has released a 3.5.1 G patch to Enterprise Server that resolves this and other SSL related problems.

<div class="moreinformation_section">

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.
