Just to be clear, NOAA aren't being 'inconsiderate' - the FG code has been 
broken, and non-compliant, all along - it just happened to be a non-compliance 
the old servers tolerated.

We weren't, prior to Thorsten's fix, sending a valid request - any cache, proxy 
or server would have been entirely permitted to ignore it. There's no need to 
postulate complex additions to our side - we should just check our HTTP 
compliance better!
