Hi, For the record, I just found a solution that works for me for the slow response with IE6: I found what turned out to be the solution at: http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:p3mqvzZBGpMJ:www.garayed.com/apache-configurations/210237-msie-nokeepalive-ssl-unclean-shutdown-directive-causes-slow-responses.html+internet+explorer+apache+ssl+slow&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=8&gl=us [See the 11-09-2006, 05:22 PM post from Renzo Zagni] In my case, in my extra/httpd-ssl.conf, I commented out the original lines and added the suggested lines, so I ended up with: # ORIGINAL - REMOVE TO TRY FIX SLOW IE6 #BrowserMatch ".*MSIE.*" \ # nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ # downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 # ADDED - 03/23/08 - THIS FIXES THE SLOW IE6 SSL PROBLEM!! BrowserMatch "MSIE [1-4]" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 BrowserMatch "MSIE [5-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown I hope that this helps someone, because this problem has caused me several days/nights worth of work and worrying :)!!
