AOL's proxies apparently started giving users errors this week when a new version of Apache was released, which responded to 1.0 requests with 1.1 responses (Case 2). While this instance will likely be fixed next week, it does indicate how an HTTP/1.0 client can be confused by an HTTP/1.1 response. Marc Hedlund <hedlund@best.com>
