FIX: ISA Server 2006 or Forefront TMG 2010 does not detect a TCP reset response when you enable HTTP compression


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You enable HTTP compression in Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006 or in Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG) 2010.
  • On a client, you use ISA Server 2006 or Forefront TMG 2010 as a Web proxy to connect to a Web server. However, the Web server takes a long time to respond to HTTP requests from the client.

    Note When the Web server sends data to ISA Server 2006 or to Forefront TMG 2010, ISA Server 2006 or Forefront TMG 2010 accumulates data. ISA Server 2006 or Forefront TMG 2010 does not send any data to the client until the Web server finishes the HTTP request.
  • You close the Web browser before the Web server is finished responding.
  • The client sends a TCP reset response to ISA Server 2006 or to Forefront TMG 2010 on a TCP session that was opened.
  • You try to access the Web site again, and the client or an intermediate proxy server uses the same source port from the previous TCP session that just obtains the TCP reset response.
In this scenario, ISA Server 2006 or Forefront TMG 2010 does not detect the TCP reset response until Web server sends a complete HTTP response, and ISA Server 2006 or Forefront TMG 2010 rejects the new client connection by using the same client port. Therefore, you cannot access the Web site by using the same source port.

Note The supported fix for Forefront TMG 2010 is included in Forefront TMG 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

Hotfix rollup information


Hotfix installation information

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
  1. Install the hotfix rollup package that is described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article:
    980067 Description of the ISA Server 2006 hotfix package: February 22, 2010

  2. Copy and paste the following script into Notepad:
    Const SE_VPS_GUID = "{143F5698-103B-12D4-FF34-1F34767DEabc}"
    Const SE_VPS_NAME = "AllowPrematureClientTermination"
    Const SE_VPS_VALUE = true

    Sub SetValue()

    ' Create the root obect.
    Dim root ' The FPCLib.FPC root object
    Set root = CreateObject("FPC.Root")

    'Declare the other objects needed.
    Dim array ' An FPCArray object
    Dim VendorSets ' An FPCVendorParametersSets collection
    Dim VendorSet ' An FPCVendorParametersSet object

    ' Get references to the array object
    ' and the network rules collection.
    Set array = root.GetContainingArray
    Set VendorSets = array.VendorParametersSets

    On Error Resume Next
    Set VendorSet = VendorSets.Item( SE_VPS_GUID )

    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    Err.Clear

    ' Add the item
    Set VendorSet = VendorSets.Add( SE_VPS_GUID )
    CheckError
    WScript.Echo "New VendorSet added... " & VendorSet.Name

    Else
    WScript.Echo "Existing VendorSet found... value- " & VendorSet.Value(SE_VPS_NAME)
    End If

    if VendorSet.Value(SE_VPS_NAME) <> SE_VPS_VALUE Then

    Err.Clear
    VendorSet.Value(SE_VPS_NAME) = SE_VPS_VALUE

    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    CheckError
    Else
    VendorSets.Save false, true
    CheckError

    If Err.Number = 0 Then
    WScript.Echo "Done with " & SE_VPS_NAME & ", saved!"
    End If
    End If
    Else
    WScript.Echo "Done with " & SE_VPS_NAME & ", no change!"
    End If

    End Sub

    Sub CheckError()

    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    WScript.Echo "An error occurred: 0x" & Hex(Err.Number) & " " & Err.Description
    Err.Clear
    End If

    End Sub

    SetValue
  3. Save the file as a Microsoft Visual Basic script file by giving the file a .vbs file name extension. For example, save the file under the following name:
    EnableKB980066.vbs
  4. Double-click the .vbs file to run it.
