revocation error after installing update (KB831167)

Hello,

Is there a way to fix this revocation error caused by the (KB831167) update in IE6 on XP please? Unchecking ""Check for server certificate revocation" is not an option.

I tried uninstalling Q831167.exe but still get the revocation errors on all secure sites. If it will require a new install of IE6 please include a URL with instructions for that?

Best Regards,
GT

From a previous post, hope it helps.

Work around.

Colm,

That's the VERY first reasonable workaround I've seen. THANK YOU for
sharing!!!

Hi

In response to the recent Microsoft IE update:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=834489

I devised a workaround solution to the login problem this update
causes which I thought I would share, it seems to work with most
browsers.

Instead of trying to directly access a protected resource like this:
http://username:[email protected]/protected/index.html

first, go through a redirect page. The redirect page will have the
following in the <head>:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="3;
URL=http://www.somehost.com/protected/index.html">

And further down the page will have a very small transparent image
like this:
<img src="http://username:[email protected]/protected/image.gif"
width="1" height="1">

The image must be in the protected folder.

With this arrangement, eveyone who doesnt have an IE browser with the
latest security update will get through after a 3 second delay. Their
browser will have authenticated them on accessing the image, so 3
seconds later when the page is looked for the browser won't need to
present the popup login dialog.

And everyone who does have a browser with the security update will
still get in, only they will be presented with the popup login dialog
because their browser wont be able to find the image (that's why it's
1x1 and transparent). Its a little more troublesome for these users,
but at least they still get in, rather than being presented with "The
page cannot be displayed".

take it easy
