Question

This is an extension of the BadRequestFormatting topic. From what I can tell so far, twiki is improperly formatting submissions (missing Host: header - not RFC:2616, section 14.23 compliant). This is causing Apache2b16 to reject submissions. .

• TWiki version: 01 Sept 2001
• Web server: Apache 2.0 b16
• Server OS: Linux RH 7.1

Answer

I'm very doubtful that this is a TWiki bug, since the browser is responsible for adding the Host: header - have you tried other browsers than IE6?

Yup, tried it wih NS6.1, same problem (but shows an error message saying "Bad Request Header").

At this point, I agree that it's not a problem with TWiki, so I can only assume there's some kind of "secret" attribute I need to fix on the Apache side (or switch to Apache 1.3).
