Hi all,

I have a sceneraio as shown in the diagram below.

+------------------+


I have apache 1.3.29 compiled with
modssl and PHP. I have a flash screen which sends XML data to the back
end module via PHP script. To achieve this I read the HTTP raw data in
php script open unix socket connection
to my back end module and send the XML for further processing . When
PHP gets the response from the back end module I send it to flash and immediately close the socket connection to my backend module. 

This
the point where I have the problem , when i send the data to flash
appln running in the browser i see that the falsh havent received any
thing it says 0 bytes received.

 I tried to look in to SSL_request and engine logs where i get 

[debug] OpenSSL: I/O error 23 bytes expected to write on BIO
[debug] OpenSSL: I/O error 23 bytes expected to write on BIO
[debug] OpenSSL: I/O error 23 bytes expected to write on BIO

[info] connection to child closed with standard shutdown 

on further googling I found 
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#ToC49

I did the approriate settings in my httpd.conf as suggested on the link given above but that too didnt help.
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \
             nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
             downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
One thing to confirm is, there is nothing wrong in flash appln since it works very well on http with IE and with http/https on 
 fire fox browser, hence I am suspecting this as some server side
configuration issue. Can some one help me to solve this problem?

I would like to add one more point
On IE  https works fine that is the flash files on server gets
loaded properly or if i have some static html page that too works fine.
I see the above problem only when i have some PHP to back end communication.

Thanks,
