This is what I did locally so I could continue testing. But unfortunately, it's is very likely that there are more broken servers around. The permissive flag seems like an "all-or-nothing", so I think Thien-Thi's suggestion sounds pretty reasonable: for all headers checks, give a default but let user specify their owns (if I understood that correctly). In my case I would just provide a #t for the date check. Best, Aleix
