What browser was used? With Netscape at least, I regularly see it give
up after a transaction is only partly done (I've never experienced this
during a post, only during a read). The more I experience HTTP, the more
I feel it's a broken protocol. The way it operates seems to leave it
particularly vulnerable to poorly performing networks, especially when
an overloaded firewall is involved.
