51.0. "SBU Web server broken?" by INDYX::ram (Ram Rao, PBPGINFWMY) Wed Feb 26 1997 12:53

Is it just me out in the corn-fields of Indiana that is having trouble
pulling anything sizeable (say greater than 200 KB) off the sbu.mro.dec.com
WEB server?  For example, when I try pulling the following document:
	http://sbu.mro.dec.com/comp/hp/knockoff/hpattackv4b.ppt
I get "connection with the server was reset" part way through the document.
This happens with the following Web clients:
	MS Internet Explorer V3.0 on NT/Alpha V4.0
	Netscape Navigator V3.01 on NT/Alpha V4.0
	Netscape Navigator V3.01 on Windows95
	Netscape Navigator Gold V3.0 on Digital UNIX V4.0B

I was able to get the document only be FTP'ing to the sbu.mro.dec.com
server.  But please fix the web server!

51.1No, You aren't alone...COPCLU::GREGGreg Parker @DMO, 857-2454Thu Feb 27 1997 02:3711

	No, You aren't the only one. We have had the same problem now
	for more than a month, and haven't been able to access some
	of the critical competitive information. To make sure it wasn't 
	a local problem I had a colleague in the UK try it out as well.
 
	I have provided feedback through the feedback option several 
	times, but haven't heard a single word from back from them.

51.2I'll bet 100s of hours are being wasted!KHUFU::EVENSONDon Evenson @MWO DTN 446-2470Thu Feb 27 1997 18:586
    And here I thought it was my PC or our local network setup. 
    
    I have had the exact same problem trying to get the Competitive
    Landscape presentation. Kept trying for days and finally used VTX IR to
    get an older version. Then I just plain gave up on some other things
    because they weren't in the IR.
51.3It happens in MRO too ...MROA::EARLYWW SBU Product Marketing DTN 297-4709Sun Mar 02 1997 23:3014
    I work in the MRO complex and reported the same problem about 2-3 weeks
    ago. It happens both at my desk in MRO and from home using RAS ... some
    kind of "server time out" error.
    
    The people who run the web server are very concerned about it, and have
    had to resort to an escalation process to try to get this fixed. I'm
    glad you wrote because I'll give your feedback to our WebGurus in the
    morning as additional ammunition that there IS a problem and it IS
    creating issues for the field.
    
    Thanks for writing!

51.4Download Problem Should Be Fixed NowMROA::EARLYWW SBU Product Marketing DTN 297-4709Mon Mar 03 1997 09:4417
    RE: This string ...  Here is an update on the SBU Server download
    problem you reported:
    
    It has been determined that there is a software bug in the release of
    Netscape we were using on the SBU Server. We have rolled the server
    back to a previous release of the server software. This seems to have
    solved the problem. So, as of Thursday morning, (February 27th) you
    should not see this problem again. 
    
    Please send me mail immediately if you continue to have problems
    downloading files ([email protected]) so I can reinvolve those
    responsible for bringing this to closure.
