[Gllug] OT: XML Mailing List / Discussion Forum?

[Andy Young]

Further to this, in case anyone cares, I've discovered it's down to a bug in the Squid cache...

GET requests with ``Content-length: 0'' are rejected 
platforms All  
versions 2.3.STABLE3  
synopsis Some user agents, such as FrontPage 2000, send GET requests with a ``Content-Length: 0'' header.
RFC 2616 only states that GET requests should not have a body, but says nothing about the header. This patch allows such requests.  
reported by Richard Birkby (rbirkby at thundermain dot com)  
patch squid-2.3.stable3-zero-content-length.patch  
status Fixed  

Thanks anyway, and sorry for going so drastically off topic, but there's a shedload of great brain power on tap in here ;)

Andy.
