A broken application sends this request to our Squid-3.1.21: "CONNECT gateway.push.apple.com:2195 HTTP/1.1 " (note the trailing space!) which results in "HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request" And indeed: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec5.html#sec5.1 together with http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.1 clearly define that there must be a CRLF after the HTTP Version, no spaces are allowed. Still, it's easier to have a workaround in squid than to get a big, three letter company to fix their software. Is there a way for me to relax that particular check? -- Ralf Hildebrandt Charite Universitätsmedizin Berlin ralf.hildebrandt@xxxxxxxxxx Campus Benjamin Franklin http://www.charite.de Hindenburgdamm 30, 12203 Berlin Geschäftsbereich IT, Abt.
