Hello,
by default, IIS 6 on Windows Server 2003 returns a 400 error, Bad Request
when you use a non HTTP 1.1 spec compatible, Unix-like syntax in a HTTP GET
URL command.

In HTTP 1.1 spec, the syntax is GET http://URL \r\n
In HTTP 1.0 spec, the syntax is GET http://URL \n

\r = ascii char 13
\n = ascii char 10

The difference is in the famous carriage-return and line feed character
difference of the Unix/Windows world.

I use a software (Oracle Intermedia URL_DataStore Index 8.1.7) that does
it's request the 1.0 way, and I can't change this so I need to find a way to
make IIS 6 to accept those request.

Thanks in advance for any tips or advice,
Bruno Bedard
