DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM FIXED:
-----------------------------

   AXESTS REQUIRES THAT THE HTTP/1.1 PROTOCOL IS USED FOR COMMUNICATION
   BETWEEN THE BROWSER AND THE AXESTS HOST SERVER. ALTHOUGH ALL MODERN
   BROWSERS SUPPORT HTTP/1.1 MANY PROXY SERVERS DO NOT SUPPORT IT, OR
   SUPPORT IT IN A NON-COMPLIANT MANNER, AND CONVERT HTTP/1.1 REQUESTS
   INTO HTTP/1.0. THIS CAUSES AXESTS TO SEND THE MESSAGE:
     AXS8401 - HTTP/1.1 IS REQUIRED FOR AXESTS.

   AXESTS USES GZIP COMPRESSION TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF DATA SENT OVER
   THE NETWORK. ALL MODERN BROWSERS SUPPORT GZIP COMPRESSION VIA THE
   ACCEPT-ENCODING HTTP HEADER HOWEVER MANY PROXY SERVERS EITHER
   REMOVE THE HEADER OR CHANGE THE HEADER TO AN INVALID VALUE. THIS
   BEHAVIOUR IS NON-COMPLIANT AND CAN CAUSE THE AXESTS CLIENT TO HANG
   DURING THE TERMINAL LOADING STAGE.


CORRECTION:
-----------

   THIS PTF ADDS THE COMMON SUPPORT NECESSARY TO ALLOW AXESTS TO
   WORK WITH THE HTTP/1.0 PROTOCOL.

   THIS PTF ADDS THE COMMON SUPPORT NECESSARY TO ALLOW AXESTS TO
   WORK WITH MOST NON-COMPLIANT PROXY SERVERS.


CIRCUMVENTION:
--------------

   NONE.
