RT 3.5 is very much still a testing branch.  With an open source product
"supported" has a rather...nuanced meaning. We're still supporting RT2
for customers. We're supporting RT 3.0, 3.2, 3.4 and several
development/feature branches off of 3.4.   While I'd love to get to the
bottom of whatever's biting you with 3.5, we don't have the resources to
dive into every issue reported by a user. (As the old line goes, "if it
breaks, you get to keep both pieces.")  

So yes, the configuration you describe is one that I would expect to
work. But if you need a stable production RT, I'd suggest that you
consider sticking with the stable production releases.

All that being said, I'd love to hear more about what you see as you dig
into this issue.  Things to check:

1) Is it mod_perl2? (If you use standalone_httpd or fastcgi, does it
work?)


2) Is it SSL?

3) Is it some browser or set of browsers?

Best,

Jesse
