SYMPTOMS
When you try to access a Web site on a third-party Web server, you may experience one of the following symptoms after a 30-second delay:
- You receive a blank page.
- You receive an HTTP Error 408 error message.
- You receive an HTTP Error 409 error message.
If you refresh the page in your Web browser, the page loads correctly.
CAUSE
This problem may occur if you use Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000 as a Web proxy. When an HTTP POST is sent through ISA Server, and ISA Server is acting as a Web proxy, ISA Server splits the POST into two TCP segments. The first segment contains the headers. The second segment contains the data for the POST. The Web server may respond to the first segment before the second segment has been received and processed.
RESOLUTION
