Connection limits and IE - server side fix?

Hi,

I'm running Apache 1.3.33. One of our clients has a customer who has
problems accessing dynamic pages using IE. The customer's IT
department claims the problem is that HTTP only supports two
concurrent connections and that the page "requires" > 2 connections.
They also provided
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;279745, which
seems to imply that IE has a problem, but the IT department claims
that this is a server problem and can be fixed by "reprogramming" the
page.

I'm looking for information about how to deal with this (other than to
tell the customer to get a real browser).

Thanks,
Jim

I'm waiting on sufficient information to attempt to reproduce this.
The original complaint did not include anything useful (like a URL,
etc.).

That's my opinion also. However, any supporting documentation that I
can come up with helps get my customer service people off my ass.

Thanks,
