I tend to forget that lots of people read lists in threaded mailers, since I don't anymore, and therefore lots of people didn't see my folo: I got the same error, *with the exact same Apache line* (Google doesn't use Apache, much less Lenny, as several people pointed out), from eBay about half an hour later; all of that stuff was gone by half an hour after that (exacerbated by the list mailer being somewhat cranky); the problem has now cleared itself up. But this was, in fact, a good example of why reports with insufficient data are ... less useful than the other sort, and I should in fact know better. Clearly this was, as several people suggested, a failure of some transparent proxy along the way -- well, a *semi* transparent proxy, which rewrote the Apache signature, when it really shouldn't have (and I have previously seen such transparent proxies not do so, and include their own address instead in the footer) -- and the likely candidate, given where I am just now, is Sprint's WiMAX 4G network. Sorry for the noise. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
