Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_16092

Symptoms:
	PHSS_16092:
	End users with Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0
	and 4.0 browsers who connect to a VirtualVault
	machine experience extreme delays in receiving
	data back.  These delays make the connection with
	IE unusable.
	No errors are reported back to the browsers, or
	at least none have been reported by the end users.
	Also, no errors are located at the "vault end" in
	any of the log files, at least, so far as the
	customer has been able to determine.
	Given enough time, data is received back at the
	end user's browser, usually two minutes or more
	after the last browser input thus rendering the
	whole communication unusable.

Defect Description:
	PHSS_16092:
	This problem is caused by "ill-behaved" applications.
	For example, while running an application integration
	through the IE browser, the original CGI that is
	called issues a redirect and the browser has to call
	that cgi instead.  This causes IE to "hang".

	------------------------------------------------------------
	1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

	2. Login as root.

	3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

	4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

		cd /tmp
		sh PHSS_16092

	5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHSS_16092.depot

	5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
	    server to install the patch on the server and the clients:

		swcluster -i -b

	    This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
	    force all clients to be shut down.

	    WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
		     patch installation.  Installing the patch while the
		     clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
		     serious problems.

	    The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
	    you must specify:

		alternate root path  -  default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
		source depot path    -  /tmp/PHSS_16092.depot

	    To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
	    "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
	    from the Menubar.

	5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:

		- run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
		  the patch on the cluster server.

		- run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
		  the patch on the cluster clients.

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in
	/var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_16092.  If you do not wish to retain a
	copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
	named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.

	Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
	         patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
		 when using this feature.

	It is recommended that you move the PHSS_16092.text file to
	/var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.

	To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
	tape drive, use the command:

		dd if=/tmp/PHSS_16092.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k

Special Installation Instructions:
	This patch is not necessary for all web servers.  It should
	only be applied by customers who are experiencing Microsoft
	Internet Explorer Version 4.0 browser hangs.
