Rails - Aug 2006 - Problem with IE forms over SSL: rails + lighttpd

If I submit a form with lots of checkboxes using IE, rails, lighttpd 
(server on OSX Server, client on XP), then I get a "This page cannot be 
displayed" message from IE after some delay and nothing shows up in the 
rails or lighttpd logs.  Cutting the number of checkboxes fixes the 
problem.  Safari works fine.  I''ve googled for anwers and apparently 
there is an upload problem for IE/SSL which the 
server.max-keep-alive-requests = 0 is supposed to remedy.  I''ve also 
tried server.max-keep-alive-idle = 60, as suggested by other authors, 
but to no avail.  Is anyone else running into this problem?  Is there a 
good workaround?

IE info:

Version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
Cipher Strength: 128-bit
Update Versions:;SP2;

Hi Sorenson,

I think I''m having a similar problem, but I''m using WEBrick
and SSL.

The server is occasionally returning an empty 404 when the form data is 
being posted. My form contains a file upload field, so I''m wondering if
it is the problem outlined here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889334/

At first I thought it was WEBrick that was causing it, as it should 
never return an empty 404 (it should show a rails routing error 
instead).

I''ve not found a fix yet but I''ll be in touch if I do!
