Release Notes for Cisco Dynamic Content Adapter Release 2.01
Known Caveats
Conditions: This is a common and known issue not specific to the DCA. It is most noticeable with
Netscape running on Windows 2000 (an unsupported platform) but also occurs less frequently on the
Windows 98 (unsupported) and NT. The behavior is the result of Netscape's underlying use of Windows'
socket layer. It stems from a change in the Windows network implementation that causes HTTP POST
transactions to not terminate properly, requiring the POST connection to timeout before completing.
DCA clients use POST transactions frequently.

participants.

between sessions. This prevents using the Forward and Back buttons to navigate between pages.
