I'm looking for a clueful person either inside of AOL's NetOps
or someone else that can help us.
Problem;
Using AOL Dial-Up, through AOL Browser or MSIE
users can connect to our web servers and our clients
web servers via normal http with no problem.
If they connect to a secure site (https://) they
get 'page can not be displayed' and other errors.
We have this issue with Linux/Apache as well as
MSIE servers.
Sniffing such connections, we get one of two scenerios:
1. A connection is opened from an AOL proxy server
(172.151.135.3 for example) yet no data is transmitted.
2. A connection is opened from an AOL proxy server.
what looks like a request is sent (580 bytes)
and some response is sent back (5k bytes)
Yet the clients browser never gets a website..
The webserver logs an 'error 408' from the request,
Which is a request timeout.
2 test websites to try from AOL:
https://www.krystal.net MS
https://www.onrope1.com Linux/Apache
Clue Bat's welcome. Thank You --Mike--
