HTTP Headers Are Truncated or Incomplete When You Access a Site Through Proxy Server (291435)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q291435 SYMPTOMS
When you access a site through Proxy Server 2.0, you may encounter incomplete or truncated headers in the response. This may manifest as missing cookies or as cookies that are visible as content in the browser.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because Proxy Server 2.0 has a limit of approximately 3.5 kb for the header portion of the response. Any cookies or headers that exceed this size are effectively treated as content and are forwarded to the browser as such.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, make sure that the cookies/headers combination does not exceed 3.5 kb.
