Hi
I'm a little baffled why I'm getting "bad request" messages from a small
percentage of my web clients. 99% of my web clients are working just
fine with Pound in front of Apache 2.0.54. The few that I'm having
trouble with have one thing in common. They don't send Referral or
User-Agent information in the HTTP request. I've done IPF traces on the
packets, and they look just fine, aside from the missing Referral and
User-agent info.
Why would this matter to Pound ? Any ideas on how to fix this ?
Pound version: 1.9
System: Solaris 10

If I turn off Pound and turn on Apache, this is from the access_log for
those IP's I have problems with:
