Okay, I accept the browser assessment. However, the Komatsu America
application is a Visual Studio 6.0 application. (I doubled checked
after my initial post.) The problem is also noticed when accessing
Secure HTTP web sites with Internet Explorer. I'll see if I can get
some version numbers on IE.

Just to confirm then, the second line (time stamped: 1079532261.705) is
received from the web browser / web application. Is this a correct read
of the access log?

Thanks.

Tim
