Today, I'm working on setting up a new HTTP 403 error page on a web proxy: this is what the user gets when access is denied by ACL. I've improved the error page to display URL, date, username, etc so i can get more meaningful messages from the helpdesk. Users are running Windows XP SP2.
Here's a silly IE6 bug:

  • when the URL is HTTP and is blocked by the proxy, the proxy sends a 403 with an error page. The page is correctly displayed.
  • but when the URL is HTTP tunnel (=https://), the proxy still sends the 403 error page but IE6 truncates the display to the first 1024 bytes...


So get and of course run .
