Apparently FireFox is making an invalid HTTP request
(try:http://jump.2ch.net/imgs/8.jpg)

Apache is nice enough to tell us what the problem is exactly.

If this is a regression (according to Bug 177919 this had worked), this
regression has been there for a long time, since it occours with current trunk,
Mozilla 1.7b, Mozilla 1.6 and Mozilla 1.4

Attachment: network trace

Mozilla is sending a valid Host header.  The server appears to be at fault
here.

-> Tech Evang

someone should contact the site webmaster to get the problem fixed on their end.
 it might be helpful if someone could provide a similar network trace using IE
or some other browser that works on this page.

Well, it doesn't work in any browser as far as I can see.
The link gives in IE6 and Opera7.23 a 400 Bad Request.
Using windows 2000.
So I think this bug is INVALID.

-> Invalid

The server seems to be broken because I get the same repsonse with Opera and IE
(but seems to work in wget)
