------- Comment #17 from sam at viveka.net.au  2006-02-23 03:13 PDT -------
I can reconfirm this behaviour on the following set-up

Client: Mac OS X 10.4.5, Safari 417.8
Server: Mac OS X Server 10.4.5, Apache 2.0.55

Am currently testing setting the following settings in the Apache config:

# First load setenvif_module (usually already loaded)
LoadModule setenvif_module      modules/mod_setenvif.so
# Match Safari and set special setenvif keyword "nokeepalive"
BrowserMatch Safari nokeepalive

The BrowserMatch directive can be set inside a virtual host or particular
directory if you only need it there.

This is a major bug for us (we build web applications for e-learning - lots of
file uploads), we might have had to remove Safari from our supported browsers,
even though we all use it internally. I think this bug should really have
higher priority.

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to adapt their server to cope with a
Safari quirk. Here is an example of the user-level befuddlement that is being
caused...

... sorry if that's all a bit ranty, but this is a big deal for anyone
authoring user interactive web-applications.
