We have tested using a remote browser with a user sitting at a browser to repro the issue (hours of hitting the enter key, holy cow), and we have also used scripts that make LWP POST requests on the same netblock, as well as running the LWP POST from localhost - all versions saw about a 1% occur

I guess I forgot to mention that we have verified using WireShark that Chrome, Firefox and IE are all correctly sending the POST data over the network in these cases. It's not a browser issue. On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 11:30 AM, Jeff Trawick wrote: > On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 1:51 PM, Eric Covener
