Topic awaiting preservation: apache/php settings

im considering strange problems with loading sites on my localhost.
see also: http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum12/HTML/000618.html

for example, i have an php/js dhtml-wysiwyg editor running on my localhost and on www.embege.com/ieeditor where it works fine. (since this is an IE-version only, i can only test it with IE)
on my localhost, the iframe refreshes a couple of times and then i get a 404. it seems as if, my apache or php doesnt like very long/big files.

anyone know what settings in apache/php are responsible for this?

I'm also experiencing this when I try to look at MAX's Cafe page (part of MAX's world, my new web site) locally. Probably there's some problem with buffering in IE. When that happens I simply switch over to Mozilla and there are no problems (which means that this isn't Apache related)...

yeah, i also thought so. but this is strange because when i load the page from another server it seems to work....
hmmm...
