I do not know for sure as I do not know for sure whether it was a bug in ICS. I noticed that other clients actually received a location header without the 443 port and they did not sent the port with the host header. Don't know whether or not that's mandatory. In RFC 2616 I just found one related sentence: "A "host" without any trailing port information implies the default port for the service requested (e.g., "80" for an HTTP URL)." So at least my fix is actually RFC compliant. -- Arno -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
