The posting process returns a correct response in http, but not in https.

Hi,

I am having below problems:
Environment : Windows 2000
IIS 5.0

Problems:
1) The posting process returns a correct response in http, but not in
https.
2) When we see the logs (HTTP) we noticed that we got the response
when we use HTTPS, and the response headers come back, but no content
after the headers. It shows HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Can you please help me?

Thanks,
Have a nice day,
Satheesh.

IIS does not provide any code to handle a posting process. Also, SSL
is at a lower level that is transparent to most applications, so your
observation probably indicates a non-IIS problem.

Can you clarify what client and server-side applications you are using
and start by obtaining support from those custom applications.

Otherwise, can you clarify why your issue has to do with IIS and not
something like a buggy client, buggy server-side application, or buggy
proxy server inbetween the client and server. i.e. you say that no
content came back on HTTPS, but can you distinguish between the
application not sending content vs IIS not sending content vs proxy
server swallowing content?

And what are you using to "see the logs"? How exactly is it decrypting
the request/response?
