HTTP Protocol Questions

by mr_milo . Updated 22 years, 7 months ago

Can someone identify these packets – Please help….

There is an intermitent problem we are seeing when accessing a .csp page on a webserver.

Most times the excel report is displayed. Sometimes the User gets a blank page???

The following packets may be associated with the problem.

1. Packet is 60bytes with two bytes being HTTP data.
The section in sniffer looks like this:

HTTP —–Hyper Text Transfer Protocol —-

HTTP:
HTTP: Line 1:
HTTP:

Detail: HEX: 6C 6C 6C 6C Ascii: llll

Is this valid????

2. If Post requests HTTP/1.1 and Server replys with HTTP/1.1 100 continue.
Why would server send data under:

HTTP —–Hyper Text Transfer Protocol —-

HTTP:
HTTP: Line 1: HTTP/1.0 200 OK
HTTP: Line 2: Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel
HTTP: Line 3: Content-Length: 5009
HTTP:

Is this ok??

Number 1. above appears when the browser displays a blank page and we feel is associated with the TCP reset.

By disabling HTTP/1.1 at the client browser the symptom stops.

Any information appreciated……
