Does anybody have any>further info on this?This is a known bug in Netscape version 4 browsers. They will not properlydisplay documents returned by CGIs from WebSTAR SSL if the file size isbetween 5649 and 5863 bytes.The work-around is to pad the form with commented html to insure that thedocument is outside the problem size range. Other than that, there isnothing that can really be done on the server end at this point since it'ssending out the file correctly (as demonstrated by viewing with otherbrowsers).We may be able to figure out a way to work-around this on the server end -but won't have time to look into doing so until after version 3.0 is outthe door.<><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Stephanie Wright swright@smithmicro.comTechnical Support & Recipes StarNine, Inc.
