The dummy request needs to be a valid HTTP request (at least on non SSL ports) due to BSD accept filters (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/mod/core.html#acceptfilter) and in the SSL port case you need to sent a least one byte for the same reason. So I guess the cryptic error message in the SSL case will remain. In the case of a non SSL port you get at least a user agent for which you can grep. In order to get this done in the SSL case I guess we would need to establish a SSL connection. Regards RĂ¼diger
