To an Apache with Mod_SSL or OpenSSL server with Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) I get various I/O errors. What is the reason?

The first reason is that the SSL implementation in some MSIE versions has some subtle bugs related to the HTTP keep-alive facility and the SSL close notify alerts on socket connection close. Additionally the interaction between SSL and HTTP/1.1 features are problematic with some MSIE versions, too. You've to work-around these problems by forcing Apache with Mod_SSL or OpenSSL to not use HTTP/1.1, keep-alive connections or sending the SSL close notify messages to MSIE clients.

This can be done by using the following directive in your ssl-aware virtual host section: SetEnvIf User-Agent ". *MSIE. *" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 Additionally it is known some MSIE versions also have problems with particular ciphers.

Unfortunately you cannot workaround these bugs only for those MSIE particular clients, because the ciphers are already used in the SSL handshake phase. So a MSIE-specific SetEnvIf doesn't work to solve these problems. Instead you have to do ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
