enable-IE6-2GB-downloads

Use the enable-IE6-2GB-downloads stanza entry to disable the HTTP Keep-Alives Enabled option for responses that are sent back to Internet Explorer, version 6, client browsers. This configuration allows clients that are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 6.0 to download files greater than 2 GB, but less than 4 GB.

Syntax

enable-IE6-2GB-downloads = {yes|no}

Description

Allows you to disable the HTTP Keep-Alives Enabled option for responses sent back to Internet Explorer, version 6, client browsers. The primary purpose of this is to allow WebSEAL to mimic the Internet Information Services workaround published at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298618. This will allow clients using Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 6.0, to download files greater than 2GB, but less than 4GB.

NOTE:
  • This stanza entry is not necessary for Internet Explorer 7 or for other non-Microsoft browsers.
  • Enabling this workaround will cause WebSEAL to not use persistent connections for Internet Explorer, version 6, client connections when the data to be returned in the response is >= 2GB in length.
