Why do you say the header is malformed? It is not normal, but just because it doesn't print all the headers it normally does doesn't mean it is "malformed". > > Example: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp: telnet freshmeat.net 80 > Trying 199.183.24.237... > Connected to freshmeat.net. > Escape character is '^]'. > HEAD / HTTP/1.0 > > HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable > Content-Type: text/html > Date: Sun, 24 May 1998 22:31:58 GMT Are you sure this is being generated by Apache? It is a 1.0 response, so either the server is configured in a special way or this is really some other script returning the headers. There is nothing in the output you give that I notice as being invalid. Not usual, but certainly possible to setup Apache to generate.
