Some additional information: The "blank page" is actually a "400 Bad Request" response.
A 404 I could understand - especially when the directoy does not exist - but why it returns 400 is a total mystery. There's nothing in the log files, the access log just mentions the 400 response. There is also nothing in the response or its headers to further explain what's wrong with the request.
