ssl prob w/ certain browsers

[Mark Nienberg]

I have imp installed and running with open_ssl.  I can make secure 
connections to the imp server and everything works perfectly from 
the following browsers:

Netscape 4.08 on Mac
Netscape 4.75 on Linux
Netscape 4.7 on Win95
IE 5.1 on Win98
IE 5.5 on Win98

I cannot get through the ssl connection using the following browsers:

IE 5.0 on Win98
IE 5.0 on Mac

As I test, I replaced the "/horde/imp/index.php3" file with a plain text 
file named "index.html".  After this, the "bad browsers" can make 
secure (though useless) connections, so it doesn't seem like a 
problem in the ssl setup.

Unfortuantely, the "bad browsers" are the default browsers on a 
typical install of Win98 and MacOS, so my users are very likely to 
have one of them and you are very likely to run into one of them in 
an internet cafe in Florence or wherever.  Any suggestions?  

Thanks,

apache 1.3.14 on RedHat Linux 7.0
mod_ssl 2.7.1
mod_php 4.0.3pl1-1
mysql 3.23.32
php 4.0.3pl1-1
All installed from rpms (mostly from the imp ftpsite).
