[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [FW-1] CVP problem NG & Viruswall
One point could be the support of http 1.1. Yes, Viruwall only supports HTTP 1.0, which is a little outdated today. I said -could - because after all this is maybe my problem: I changed together with the Firewall my old Netscape proxy by an Apache proxy that is http/1.1 compliant (installed in front of the firewall) and configured all Internet explorers to use HTTP/1.1 through proxy. Any coments on this?
