Hello Pieter,

I never recieve 411 Length Required
The "Content-Length" is not defined.
The server will not accept the request without it.

For compatibility with HTTP/1.0 applications, HTTP/1.1 requests containing
a message-body MUST include a valid Content-Length header field unless the
server is known to be HTTP/1.1 compliant. If a request contains a
message-body and a Content-Length is not given, the server SHOULD respond
with 400 (bad request) if it cannot determine the length of the message, or
with 411 (length required) if it wishes to insist on receiving a valid
Content-Length.

I assume you are asking for this line of the debug.log that could be the
cause of the
problem but from the statment above this shouldnt matter...?
Transfer file=[virtual-host]/index.htm size=-1 from=0

When I look at the Xitami Source, you do not use Content-Length either.

Im at a loss for why the newest version doesnt like my pages using Netscape
but MSIE is perfectly fine. It should be worth mentioning, 2.5b5 worked
very nicely on Netscape, Opera and IE...
