Re: Apache/IE hangs with PHP

It's only IE? Perhaps IE keeps connections in a global structure and tries to use already established connections, regardless of which window you're using? It's just a guess, but it seems logical- it would cut down on TCP handshake waste, but one window could effectively DoS another. I wonder what would happen on multi-user installations of windows...? Anyone got a box the could test on? On Wednesday 25 February 2004 06:30 pm, Vincent Bouret wrote: > Hi, > > I have this strange problem.

Properly speaking, there is no such thing as revenge.
