Not, it is the referrer. Gmail adds line breaks where there shouldn't be. Another exampke: [Thu Jul 07 06:10:28 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] request failed: error reading the headers, \ referer: http://xx.yy.ch:7100/Portal?cmd=nh&nav=url=homepage I know it is the referrer, and not the query string, as this server is never queried with these URLs. Maybe its better I give some background. Our server servers wml and xhtml pages for mobile phones. On the server run two apache webservers, and two application servers. One application server runs a content renderer, that will make sure that mobile phones get appropriate content (mostly involves resizing images) the other runs the webportal itself. Basically a client requests a page from the webserver1, which forwards it to appserver1 (the content renderer). This one then requests the page from appserver2 (the portal). It then looks at the content returned, and fetches all images referred from webserver2, resizes them, caches them and mangles the links referring to these images in the content it passes back to webserver1, which passes it back to the phone. The requests that cause these problems are all from appserver1 to webserver2. The referrer is the URL of the page appserver1 fetched at appserver2, and for which it now wants to fetch the images. Might it be that appserver1 occasionally sends malformed HTTP requests? From the repsonses I got so far this would be the case. It is what I am investigating right now anyway.
