[mv] Checkout weirdness...



******    message to minivend-users from Eric Paul <epaul@spellbook.net>     ******

Warning before I even start describing the problem...  This is all customer 
anecdotal.  I cannot find any corroborating evidence in my error logs and I 
cannot make the problem happen myself.  I am not certain that this is 
really happening...

That said, one of my clients has been receiving a number of emails from 
people complaining that they cannot checkout from their site.  Their 
current system is running MV-3.14 on a system running Red Hat Secure Server 
with a Thawte cert.  (Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) Red-Hat-Secure/3.1 mod_ssl/2.4.5 
OpenSSL/0.9.4)  The one end-user who has ever replied to my emails asking 
for more info has told me they are running MSIE 5.5, and when they click on 
checkout, they get a "Standard IE 5.5 server time-out error."  My secure 
server is the same box, with the same IP as the standard web server.  I 
only encrypt the checkout page to save time and load on the server.  I 
cannot reproduce this error, every time I try to do a checkout (either 
locally or over dialup) it works fine.  The shop takes orders daily, so 
this problem is not affecting everyone.  The only weird thing that I can 
find in my minivend error log (and I don't know that this is related...) is 
a lot of entries like this:

ppp-207-214-187-223.anhm01.pacbell.net sKUjqvbJ:pacbell.net - 
[30/May/2000:23:49:19 -0400] starfire /cgi-bin/starfire/process Difficulty 
interacting with browser: Variable '' not passed from form

I know I haven't given you a lot to go on, but I've given you all I have 
and I'm stumped...  Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Eric
