Mongrel users - May 2006 - Error in http parser or client?

Hello,

   I started a little pet project of making a webdav plugin for mongrel.

   First thing I did was get the test suite called litmus from
     http://www.webdav.org/neon/litmus/

   and run it against a completely dummy handler that doesn''t even try
to
   handle anything.

   Then mongrel said to me:

BAD CLIENT (127.0.0.1): Invalid HTTP format, parsing fails.
REQUEST DATA: DELETE /test/litmus/frag/#ment HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:3000
User-Agent: litmus/0.10.5 neon/0.25.4
Connection: TE
TE: trailers
X-Litmus: basic: 8 (delete_fragment)

   Now, I''m completely new to dav protocol and mongrel itself (consider
   this a learning project), but shouldn''t all dav be standard http, so
   that the http parser or the test suite has a bug, or I''ve completely
   misunderstood something..

   For the record, that was the only test of about 14 that made mongrel
   say anything, otherwise the test suite failed with quite expected
   results.


Thanks,
Mikko Lehtonen
