Well, servers like Apache tends to cut the connection anyway after a short
timeout, so you don't wee this problem ;)

The strange thing is that I don't have this problem, using IE4 or IE5 on
NT (I have 4.0 sp3). So I really don't know why other people have this
problem :( It may be an OS bug that is fixed with recent releases, but I
can't really give a good diagnostic on this one!
