iis 6 ssl issues

Hi all,

We recently moved our asp.net to a new box running Windows 2003 SP1 and IIS
6. The site runs over SSL using a self-signed certificate and also uses
client certificates. Users are starting to see intermittent blank pages
and/or the notorious "Page cannot be displayed" message very frequently now.
At that point, if they simply go back and try again it works. This normally
happens on page post postbacks. What could be causing this? The older box
was on the same OS as well and everything worked fine.

TIA!

OK. Follow up to this post. Some users get a blank page on a page postback.
They have to close out of IE and then go back in and try the same page again
and everything works fine. Why is this happening? It is very frustrating to
end users.

TIA!

Another follow up. It appears that randomly a http 413 error is causing this? This is what I found in the IIS logs for the website:-

2006-05-11 16:19:23 W3SVC2023926562 COLOWEB02 172.19.1.24 POST /tools/indirect/add_edit_stip.aspx id=84 443 - 172.19.1.50 HTTP/1.1 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+7.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727) adminuserticket=042404FA0B6CB2C2E12C052DC4223E229DD529751101CDC563E29AAB4C63492AE0D7D193D254511EC46E69363CD7645C4DB2B12F2177BD2A8EF96E33F78D946932A03DDB3E82729A;+screenheight=1166;+membergroupnames=Sterling+Technologies,Sterling+Financial,Administrators,Risk+Managers,System+Administrators,Multi-Company+Fax+Users,Customer+Support+Managers;+membergroupids=2,3,5,14,18,22,23 https://moses.mydomain.net/tools/indirect/add_edit_stip.aspx?id=84 moses.mydomain.net 413 0 0 166 1012 0

See the bolded error code above. What could be causing this?

TIA!

Hi

i have the same problem with blank pages. I see also in IIS logs the status
413.
Can you solve this problem or find any reason which can explain this
behaviour?

Hi,

Your Web server thinks that the HTTP data stream sent by the client (e.g.
your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) was simply too large i.e. too many
bytes. What constitutes 'too many bytes' depends partly upon the operation
being attempted. For example a request to upload a very large file (via the
HTTP PUT method) may encounter a ceiling on upload file size set by the Web
server.

In your case i.e adminuserticket=042404FA0B6CB2C2E12C052DC4223E229DD529751101CDC563E29AAB4C63492AE0D7D193D254511EC46E69363CD7645C4DB2B12F2177BD2A8EF96E33F78D946932A03DDB3E82729A;+screenheight=1166;+membergroupnames=Sterling+Technologies,Sterling+Financial,Administrators,Risk+Managers,System+Administrators,Multi-

The reson for the above to happen is either the web code is missing
something or is faulty or get corrupted or may be some problem with web
server related system files...

In simple the request send by client to the server is too large to get
handel by server.

Thanks & Regards
