Often it is when a HTTP/1.0 client sends a request to a HTTP/0.9 server thru a proxy server. Can you see in your log whether the connection is reset by peer (the remote 0.9 server, that is). What happens is that the 1.0 client sends a large request and doesn't do any read. The 0.9 server starts sending the object back but it is not read by the client, and the server resets the connections. > >Can someone clearify what has to be done for the proxy server > >when the client interrupted half way during a request ? I suggest that the server just keeps on loading document, maybe with a low priority set to the thread or process. Then the document can be sent directly from the cache if the client tries again... -- Henrik Frystyk
