Server Failure Not Detected While Downloading the Patch Database (4876039)

Description:

Occasionally, PatchPro fails to detect a transient network failure and erroneously concludes that the download of the patch database succeeded.

Cause:

HTTP servers that support keep-alive might terminate a connection prematurely. When the connection terminates, the server sends less data to PatchPro than originally specified.

PatchPro ignores a connection termination that was initiated by the server. PatchPro also claims that the download was successful.

Workaround:

If you detect this problem, download the patch database again.
