Quid pro quo, my friend - Quid Pro Quo

No problem at all.

I do it mostly for the love of KiX ( and Automation) and because you're such a great contributor to this board, but mostly you caught me at a good time.

I've actually got a usefull piece of KiX OLE script running right now that is helping us debug a pesky IE4 problem !

Our users are getting (relatively) frequent Dr. Watson's (IE4 Traps) when hitting certain Internet High Encryption (SSL) sites. We're running IE4 SP1 in WinNT 4 SP3 ( no, we can't upgrade easily).

I wrote this little KiX/OLE beaut that

1) Starts an instance of IE4

2) Goes to the pesky website

3) Hit's the refresh button over and over

This is enough to repro the problem ! I start the script, then go have a coffee or three, then come back and check for traps.

We think it has something to do with our firewall. We're running Checkpoint Firewall 1 Version 4.0. From what I understand, there are "issues" with IE4 and Checkpoint.

Can anyone shed some light or has had similar "issues" ?

You seem to be a proxy/firewall guru - got any insight here ?
