The following error doesn't occur in our trusted environment (inside the =
network LAN), but occurs when someone hits the site from outside =
(extranet). We've set the site to Basic Authentication, have a reverse =
proxy that is not doing any authentication (set to do anon on that =
site), and enabled SSL.

When someone tries to create a new list or document library (any web =
part) or submits values from a survey (no, I don't think it's limited to =
the survey web part... only example I have at the moment), the site =
issues an HTTP POST to /_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=3D109. After clicking =
the final CREATE button (the one after you select the web part type and =
provide the new name and description), the page goes blank upon posting =
and the following URL is in the address: =
Http://wsssite/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?cs=3D109.

When I look at the IIS log, I see the following that it's getting a =
return code of 200 for that POST... resulting in an error, but the page =
shows no such thing.

Ideas? Scoured the newsgroup with no luck yet.

I'm having the exact same problem. Did you find a solution?

Thanks

Sure did.

Our problem was we use a reverse proxy to get into internal resources from
the extranet. The proxy we were using (Apache based) doesn't support NTLM.
In addition, it was set to reject anything that isn't HTTPS. The site is
HTTP internally, but HTTPS externally. If you search the group, you'll see
references where the MS prescribed way to handle an internal/external site
is to use two virtual servers and have one listen on HTTP (80) and the other
on HTTPS (443). The HTTPS site maps to he HTTP virutal server so they share
the same content database. We also had to implement an ISA Server to do
link translation (because the site was sending down the wrong prefix for the
URL.
