[imp] Intenet Explorer 5.XX (IE5) + SSL

This actually seems not to work on our end.
"SetEnvIf" isn't allowed in the horde.conf file, at least in a <Directory>
entry, so httpd complains and won't start.
At the same time, setting SSLProtocol to that value prevents IE from
connecting at all via https.

Hi,

something about this may need to included into FAQ as many of us had trouble
with this particular issue though the fault really does not lie in imp.

The problem is somewhere in SSL communication between mod_ssl and IE.  The
solution is to disable some types of SSL encryption in apache.  Try to add
the following:
--------add this to httpd.conf.ssl -------------
SSLProtocol all -SSLv3
----------------------------------------------

and the following to horde.conf (in Directory section)

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

I am not sure which of these two lines really does the trick - I just needed
to make it work and this did the job - I'd be happy to be enlightened by
someone who knows more about SSL...

Josko

P.S.  Oh yes, I found this suggestion on mod_ssl lists, there might be more
about it there.
