Okeedoke- so I finished setting up a store at:

http://www.fungame.com

And when it comes time to get "secure"- I used "finish.cgi" at
https://commerce5.ba.best.com/~pooler/store/finish.cgi
(have to do it this way until I get my own certificate from VeriSign).

This is form-based- it paints a form, and then calls itself again,
using POST to communicate the contents (and to decide what to do next,
each time). It does this to gather address and credit-card
information.

It works. However, about 1 out of 3 times, when I click on the
"Proceed" button which calls finish.cgi again, IE 4.0 quickly says:
"the server returned an invalid or unrecognized response". The message
comes back fast- as if it didn't get past the first step in
connecting. But then if I click the same button again, it usually
works!

Anyone have any idea? Could this be a bug in the hardware, or apache?
Or in the way I'm doing it?

BTW- the first thing the CGI does is this:
printf("Content-type: text/html\n\n");
...but it doesn't even seem like it's getting that far.

Thanks *a lot* for any clues,
Mike

P.S. Feel free to go to fungame.com and try it out, and let me know
what you think- the cart is a work in progress (it's going to be a LOT
better by the time its done).

Hello:

You can find information in:

http://help.jp.netscape.com/kb/server/980522-60.html

Also I have disabled SSL3, leaving SSL2, in the IE4 or/and in the Web Server
(I have tried with Netscape ES3.5.1) and works. Perhaps you need to restart
the Explorer.
