I would tend to agree that this HTML page looks like a browser being
too clever.  Even Mozilla (or at least Galeon) now does the same thing
and presents the HTML source of a totally empty page as a set of legal
HTML tags.

The two possilities that I see for the cause of this page are:

1) The browser pretending that was a perfectly valid HTML page
   returned from the server when actually there was no data.  This
   could be caused by the WWWOFFLE problem with sending "304" replies
   to the browser instead of the real page.

2) There is problem with the WWWOFFLE <-> server interaction that
   causes the server to send totally blank pages

The first one is most likely, if you apply the patch that Paul
Rombouts sent in an earlier e-mail then this will remove that problem.
