Hi -
Does anyone have any idea why the following URL would work in
1.3.23 and not work in 1.3.26?

The message I get from Apache 1.3.26 is:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
The request line contained invalid characters following the protocol
string.
And the error log shows this:

erroneous characters after protocol string: GET /WebZ/html

NOTE: The URL will not work as it stands because it points to a
web application and needs to have a session established. But I guarantee
that it does work in 1.3.23 and not in 1.3.26, both having mod_ssl and
a special module called 'mod_webz' enabled.

PS. If your opinion is that this really should go to the users list, or
into a bug report, please let me know. I couldn't really see it fitting in
either place.
