Symptoms

When a Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004, Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006, or Windows Essential Business Server 2008 client performs an action that uses the HTTP POST method, the action may be performed multiple times. For example, if a user on an ISA Server 2004 or Windows Essential Business Server 2008 client adds an item to a shopping cart by using a Web page form, the item may be added to the cart three times.

Const SE_VPS_NAME = "UseFileExtensionAsContentType"
Const SE_VPS_VALUE = 1
