Client sent malformed Host header
|
|
|
| Hi,
Forgive me if this is a simple question but I am new to this, I have apache
running on one of the computers on my home network, I have port forwarding
set up, it works fine inside my network, but not outside,
Someone suggested I tried using
http://www.psi-rho.com/dsltools/test.php?type=www to test the connection,
its reporting port 80 open and the error message shown at the end of this
post. The apache error log shows "Client sent malformed Host header"
Any suggestions to what my problem is would be greatfully received.
Cheers Si,

Without the client's half of the transaction, particularly the Host:
header, it will be very hard to diagnose this.

Some say the Wired doesn't have political borders like the real world,
but there are far too many nonsense-spouting anarchists or idiots who
think that pranks are a revolution.

How do I do this (as I said before I'm new to this).

OK, that's wrong. only "host: name:port" is allowed (name can also be IP). Check the following link:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html for the official w3c format. |
