I'm seeing a request come in with a bad http header. This is the tail end of the message: 00c0 74 2f 76 33 2f 76 33 76 31 2e 78 6d 6c 0d 0a 78 t/v3/v3v 1.xml..x 00d0 2d 75 70 2d 63 61 6c 6c 69 6e 67 2d 6c 69 6e 65 -up-call ing-line 00e0 2d 69 64 3a 20 31 36 33 30 39 38 31 37 32 33 39 -id: 163 09817239 00f0 0d 0a 50 0e 92 0d 0a 43 6f 6e 74 65 6e 74 2d 54 ..P....C ontent-T 0100 79 70 65 3a 20 61 70 70 6c 69 63 61 74 69 6f 6e ype: app lication

As must as we would like to, suffice to say we cannot change the behavior of the submitted request. What options do I have within Apache to allow this bad request to proceed? Is there a way to turn off Apache's strict header checking? Or am I looking at making a custom modification to the Apache source code for this specific case? Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris
