I find this topic thread amusing in that I've encountered a similar issue
located within Netscape's, err..iPlanet's Proxy server with regard to
the insertion of HTTP headers into the stream. I discovered this during
the testing of my https library (which uses OpenSSL of course!).
The proxy was not terminating the inserted HTTP with CRLF as the
RFCs dictate but was rather terminating with an LF only. Yes, I've
read the "tolerance" section too but find it amusing that I had to
patch my wonderful library to "tolerate" that server (which is their
latest release) because they've failed to follow the spec completely.
And yes I've also been in contact with their engineering dept to
inform them of this oversight.
I guess the bright side of all this is that if everything worked as
spec'd, we'd be out of jobs, eh? Of course, all the code WE
write doesn't contain any bugs. Uh huh...
