I've just had email from a user who told me Page Valet declined to fetch his page, whereas v.w.o was happy with it. On investigation, I found Page Valet was bailing out with a message about a malformed HTTP response. This was due to the server using bare LF in place of CRLF for its line endings, in violation of RFC2616. I've now updated Page Valet to tolerate this particular form of HTTP brokenness, but issue a stern warning to the user. It seems to me that a validator may allow a certain amount of error correction, but shouldn't let anything so broken pass without comment. Terje - I can't see anything in LWP that would address this problem: can you see any way of fixing this in Perl? -- Nick Kew
