We have been running the Apache web server to run our 'autoproxy' (automatic proxy configuration) on a global basis for 4+ years using 4 regional Solaris engines. Currently running Apache version 2.0.35 but have 'checked' the problem described below on the 2.2 version with the same negative results. Given that my hours of searching in the problem forums, documentation, etc, I suspect this problem is rooted in IE itself but want to throw it out for possible comment. We are still confirming this -- but prior to IE6/SP2 we had no problem displaying (in the 'combined' Apache logs) the complete 'user agent' information from all the win32 clients. Based on our research, all IE6/SP2 clients (running both XP and W2K3 server) now ONLY display a 'generic' UA (in the Apache logs) of: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Win32) This is displayed irregardless of the client registry settings, e.g. SV1, etc. When verifying the UA from the client browser using 'javascript:alert(navigator.userAgent)' EVERYTHING is there. I have tried different tweaks of the XP/W2K3 server registry settings (MSDN article) but can't seem to find an answer. Other browsers like Firefox, etc. display their full UA string just fine with my current Apache version/config. I was hoping someone else has seen this behavior and could comment on any workarounds -- like I said, didn't see any in the forums, etc. My next step is to sniff the client to server traffic during the autoproxy exchange to make sure it is actually being sent. Thanks for any thoughts or guidance. M. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
