This is bad behaviour by Web Folders is it not? Well, I can't confirm the behavior, but if this is indeed what is going on, then it's non-compliant behavior. The status XML element is defined as "status-line", which is defined in HTTP/1.1, and status-line will accept any text except for CR and LF. So lower case should have been fine. In fact, anything there should have been fine -- the "OK" isn't meaningful to the protocol. - Jim
