APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.0
SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 disconnects a TCP session after a response when the Response.Buffer property is set to False in Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) even if a Connection: Keep-Alive header is specified. This could cause unnecessary overhead for network traffic especially when Integrated Windows authentication is enabled.
