Sorry, don't know of anything in particular, but it seems to me that Apache itself would necessarily be doing some amount of validation on the in coming requests. I don't know how strict Apache is at enforcing the HTTP spec; probably not terribly as it's usually desirable to be a little lenient about what you accept (and strict about what you produce). But generally speaking, if Apache doesn't recognize it as a valid HTTP request, then it won't be able to process it. Not sure if that gets filed somewhere, or what. -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://pgp.mit.edu/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
