Bug#289868: apache2: No keep-alive for MSIE

[Olaf van der Spek <olaf@xwis.net>]

Package: apache2
Version: 2.0.52-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I noticed keep alives didn't work with Internet Explorer 6.

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf contains BrowserMatch "MSIE 4\.0b2;" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
But this shouldn't match MSIE.

Request:
GET /xcl/ HTTP/1.1
Host: xwis.net
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: MSIE

Response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
