Dave,

I have included the line from our httpd.conf but to be honest the previous
post with the RAQ3 fix should have worked. I did not wish to include this
fix in the perl config section to reduce work done by this module
unnecessarily and also this is where the documentation on the problem said
to place it. I included a similar line in the virtualhost section for the
site using SSL and cgi. Below is the line used (the centre line) in my
httpd.conf, the lines above and below are simply to show it's position:
==========
AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/site9/users/$1/web/$3
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi
==========

The link to the documented problem on modssl's site provided on the post in
the archives is now dead - please see
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#ToC49 for current info on this
problem - there are additional fixes for export browsers etc. you may want
to try.

The only other thing to mention is due to us running OpenSSH on the RAQ4's
we have updated OpenSSL - the fix in place did however function before this
was done.

Do remember to restart httpd after amending your httpd.conf using:
==========
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
==========

If I can locate any further info on this matter I will post it here.

Good luck
