403 forbidden problem

#1 (**permalink**) 10-11-2006

Hello.

Apache: Apache/1.3.27
PHP: Version 4.3.2

Close source client is trying to connect to my web server.

Client request is:
-------------------------------------
GET /page.php HTTP/1.0
Host: www.some-host.com
Connection: close
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 0

-------------------------------------

And response from my server is:
-------------------------------------
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Connection: close
Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 08:56:27 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Server: Apache

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>403 Forbidden</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Forbidden</H1>
You don't have permission to access /page.php
on this server.<P>
</BODY></HTML>
--------------------------------

The problem is "Content-Length: 0".
If this parameter is omitted by the client everything works fine.

This request works fine when requesting something from my web server:
-------------------------------------
GET /page.php HTTP/1.0
Host: www.some-host.com
Connection: close
Accept: */*

-------------------------------------

The problem is i cant change the request in closesource client and this
client request works
in all other web servers i know.

Any hints?
What to change in httpd.conf?

Thank you in advance.
Regards,
TomazZ
