Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / November 2004IE 5.1.7 error -3171
I am getting a -3171 error whey attempting to access nascar.com. The entire nascar home page fails to load completely, loading just a portion of the page and some times it loads more, sometimes less but never the whole page. Some linked pages in the same site also fail to load completely. I can't find any information about the -3171 code. Using OS 9.1 IE 5.1.7. Any ideas? I posted here several weeks ago about the same problem I'm still having. I'm on a G4 Quicksilver/OS 9.2.2/IE 5.1.7. I access several newspapers daily on the Web, but the Washington Post site is the one that gives me Error Code -3171 on some (not all) links. http//:www.appleerrorcodes.com gives the following gibberish as a description of -3171: "The argument qlen when the endpoint was bound with Bind was zero." Maybe that explains it to somebody, but not me.

I cannot answer directly to the problems with the -3171 error code. However, I can make an opinion on what's happening with Web sites in general in relation to OS 9/IE 5.x: Web sites are incorporating features that cannot be rendered using those old browsers. I've had issues with NASCAR's site as well as Disney's using IE 5.1.7 and Netscape 7.0.2 in OS 9. Yet, when I visit those sites with IE 5.2.3 and Netscape 7.2 in OS X, they render completely. I can only assume that the browsers in OS X are more up to date with current Web coding schemes (although, IE 5.2.3 will soon fall behind given that Microsoft is no longer updating it). Perhaps switching to a browser more current than IE 5.1.7 in OS 9 would be able to render these sites. It looks like the iCab 2.9.8 ( http://www.icab.de/dl.php ) will work for those pesky sites. On the MacUpdate site, it gets high marks for being compatible with banks and their touchy systems. Steve Sigh! I was afraid of that, but your response certainly makes sense. I've been putting off researching newer browsers, but I read abut so many of them, I haven't a clue where to start. ICab, Opera, Safari, Mozilla etc etc. Is there a comparative link out there that lists the current ones? I'm currently using IE for browsing, etc and OE for mail and newsgroups. Yeah, yeah, I know. Dinosaur Land.
