Internet Explorer Bug during HTTP POST requests

IBM - Zero content-length POST body is occasionally sent by Internet Explorer 6 clients after installing Microsoft� security update MS04-004 or the 821814 Hotfix.

The same problem occured during sending a post submit on an ordinary http page without ssl. This happend in a Java servlet/JSP environment and could be reproduced especially after a GET Request to a servlet which sends a redirect.
Comments:
Socket Resets can be monitored by using the TCPMON of the Apache Axis project (on the console you see the error messages).

In this way you can check your webapplications, if they produce the describe problem for the internet explorer.
