Posting Acceptor Not Reading All IE 4.0 Post Data (177606)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Site Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q177606 SYMPTOMS
Large files fail when posted to Microsoft Posting Acceptor 1.0 by Internet
Explorer (IE) 4.0.
CAUSE
Internet Explorer 4.0 will close a connection with an Internet Information
Server computer upon an HTTP 401 response. An open connection is required
to succeed with NTLM authentication, which is also required to upload via
Posting Acceptor. If you are uploading a file larger than 48 KB, the
message must be split into multiple packets to be processed by Posting
Acceptor. Authentication information is also split over the packets.
Between packets, a 401 response will be sent back to the client before
NTLM succeeds, thus causing IE 4.0 to fail.
RESOLUTION
This problem has been corrected in Microsoft Posting Acceptor 1.01, which
is available as part of the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack, available at
http://www.microsoft.com/iis.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Microsoft Site Server version
2.0. This bug has been corrected in Microsoft Posting Acceptor 1.01.
