Problems: Crippled header and missing Content-Type. As far as i can see, the missing Content-Type leads to the usage of the DefaultType from httpd.conf. This is usually "text/plain" and leads to the effect that the HTML code is not interpreted but displayed as plain text.
I investigated this a while back. According to RFC2616 (if memory serves), the assumed Content-Type when it is missing is application/octet-stream (and thus Apache is wrong to be sending text/plain anyway).
However: the bug lies with Ebay's code, and I don't think we should be breaking either Apache or RFC2616 simply because a website chooses to be broken. :(
