This is clearly what I meant to say in my last post. Doug Brandon also has this issue and no one was able to address it for him. I have the same issue as Mr. Marks. Would someone please point me to the correct Headers.py patch referred to below, perhaps my mileage will be better than Mr. Marks'. Alternatively a migration back to 2.0.13 would be acceptable if anyone has done this.
