Description Nicolas Mailhot 2010-08-17 08:36:10 UTC
Description of problem:

Lately, I've started getting a lot of “Request header field is missing ':' separator.” when accessing my fedora-hosted webmail

It seems a bug has been introduced apache-side or squirrelmail-side

I had some problem occurrences using various versions of firefox (linux and windows), and even a few times when using Links

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
httpd-2.2.16-1.fc14

This is seen over SSL?

Yes, this is an https access

Comment 5 Joe Orton 2010-08-17 12:59:26 UTC
Can you try this build:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2406801

it pulls in one bug fix from upstream.

Comment 6 Nicolas Mailhot 2010-08-17 17:32:40 UTC
I'll test this one now.

Comment 7 Nicolas Mailhot 2010-08-19 16:41:27 UTC
Seems fixed, many thanks

Comment 8 Sandro Bonazzola 2010-10-08 14:14:24 UTC
The package is still not in Fedora 14: latest httpd available is built 26/07/2010. The fix according to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2406801
 is dated Tue, 17 Aug 2010.

It isn't in fedora repo or in updates-testing repo. Can anybody push this to the repository?

Comment 9 Sandro 2010-10-26 20:26:58 UTC
Could you please push this fix in bodhi, so we can get it in F14 as a 0-day update?

Many thanks.

Comment 10 Joe Orton 2010-10-27 10:06:40 UTC
Sorry, yes, this bug shouldn't have been closed out.  I'm building 2.2.17 for f14 updates which has this fix.
