I hate to be pendantic, but the following is the order of HTTP headers: nedominic@is:~ > netcat -l -p 5000 GET / HTTP/1.0 Connection: Keep-Alive User-Agent: Mozilla/4.74 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16 i686) Host: is:5000 Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, image/png, */* Accept-Encoding: gzip Accept-Language: en Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1,*,utf-8 dominic@is:~ > In other words, your step 2 and 3 should be in the opposite order.
4 server starts processing the request (filtering headers and uri information through the stack of configured modules)
i hope this shed a little light on the issue.
