Hello,

my problem is, that our intranet web server (Apache 2.0.54) receive HTTP POST requests with no data (Content-length 0). The client request is going over a VPN tunnel into our office intranet. With ethereal I analyzed that there is a valid request with post data ca. 0.2 seconds before and the next one then with no data. The result is that the user will get an error message.

BTW: the problem is not reproducible. It can happens a few times a day, but perhaps other 100 request there is no problem at all.

Which part is generating the second HTTP packet? The client browser/system? Or even the VPN software, which I dont really believe.

Any help will be very appreciated.

Best regards,
Joerg Schwiemann.
