Should'nt the behaviour of a proxy in case of both RST and FIN should be same, i.e always a FIN. As proxy should close the connection **properly** even in case of a failure on the other side. Sincerely Ajay Pal Singh Atwal ----- David Farinic <davidfa () gfi com> wrote:
Servers are supposed to send RST packets when they do that, but notallservers do it, and not all clients recognize those RST packets as indicating that the document they just downloaded is incompleteMost of the clients do recognize and most web servers do correctly apply use of RST and FIN for TCP/IP HTTP connection ending. Problem is that some (most?)Proxy servers (nontransparent and probably also transparent) DO NOT. I tested 4 different proxy servers if they pass RST to client's browser when original web server sent RST. All sent FIN instead of RST :(. (I Did this test as I found other web apps. problems resulting from this proxy behavior) If anybody knows proxy which behaves 'correctly,' pls let me know. Regards David Farinic
