Sorry, but it doesn't load in IE 6 either. Not a Mozilla bug. Not a Build Config bug in any event.

It loads in my IE6.0.something... From a quick HTTP log, the server is not sending CRLF properly at the end of header lines, probably just LF; so we parse the entire request as one giant header line, which obviously fails. From the HTTP/1.1 spec section 19.3 The line terminator for message-header fields is the sequence CRLF. However, we recommend that applications, when parsing such headers, recognize a single LF as a line terminator and ignore the leading CR.

Summary: web page will not load at all (blank white page) . Loads in other browsers. You suck! :) → http parser should accept single LF as a substitute for CRLF
Benjamin: can you post a log snippet showing this? if so, please set status=NEW.

Ever confirmed: true
benc: the log just shows that moz is parsing all the headers and body of this page as one giant (meaningless) header.
