1760.0. "proxy server out of date" by IJSAPL::VANHULST () Mon Feb 03 1997 04:44

    
    Customer notices difference in using a PC and accessing a WWW homepage 
    either behind a AltaVista firewall or direct on Internet.
    
    Behind the firewall he is getting sometimes a request to download a new 
    browser this message will not appear on the same PC connected direct
    to Internet ....
    
    He is using Unix standard firewall .... 
    
    What is causing this ? WWW proxy server ?
    
    regards,

1760.1different browsers.GALVIA::KEATINGMon Feb 03 1997 08:497
Are they using different versions of the browser, maybe one has java enabled?

This has nothing to do with the firewall software.

1760.2version to be usedIJSAPL::VANHULSTMon Feb 03 1997 09:0214
    
    The homepage is generating the message 'please download a new version of 
    browser' and based on http version 1.1. 
    
    The PC is using netscape browser 3.01 and no diffence in configuration.
    
    Indeed what is the effect of the proxy in the middle should be
    transparant at protocol level .... (standard CERN proxy)
    
    What is causing the error message to generated by http 1.1 ?
    
    regard,
