Re: Apache 2.0 Proxy & Windows Update

Thank you for the response. I'll try a nightly build and see how that goes.

Thanks,

This isn't too surprizing... a patch was just committed (after .44) to the
2.0.45-dev tree that will prevent us from removing the content-length.

Although we use either connection: close or chunked responses, it seems
many Windows 'client' apps including Adobe's Acrobat+IE absolutely barf
when they don't see a content-length (even though it's optional) in conjunction
with byteranges. Since all windows download/updates tools use byteranges
to skip through and resume transmisssions, there is a pretty good chance
this will be licked in 2.0.45.

I'm not a developer but am in desperate need of some help for the Apache 2.0 proxy mod. I've been running it on 2.0.43 (and just tried 2.0.44 with the same result) and I keep getting errors when my users try to access http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ . It says and error has occured and won't let you update your computer. I installed the Apache 1.3 on the same box with the same options and it works just fine so it's isolated to 2.0. Does anyone have any suggestions or help? I would really appreciate any assistance.
