Item5237: Intermittent blank page issue with IE6

Intermittantly, we get a blank screen while trying to access Twiki pages. We do not see any activity in the apache logs for the above request.

The same issue happens with attachments as well. When we try to open an attachment, we get a blank screen on the browser. For attachments, clicking on browser refresh button displays garbled data. It is as if the mime exchange never happened and so the browser displays binary data on the screen Apache logs show that the file was served fine (http response 200).

We are able to replicate this issue on Twiki.org also.You can go to http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Sandbox/WebHome and click the attachment "ITextTest.pdf" at the bottom of the page to test.You need to try multiple times using IE6 to reproduce the issue.

Is this still a problem?

At least half my users run IE6 and I've not seen this happen since I started using tmwiki 4.2/foswiki March 2009.

I am getting blank pages on a test wiki after moving to ModPerlEnginePlugin, but it's not specific to IE6 (and I suspect is mis-configured somehow)

Closing, user doesn't seem active on twiki.org since 2008 and isn't going to get any notifications from us (no account here)
