Dare Obasanjo posts about a change in .NET 1.1 SP1 that can
result in errors in RSS Bandit.
SP1 introduces new stricter parsing for the headers stored in a
WebHeaderCollection. This was added as a security precaution and is
of particular importance on servers. For example,
Sanctum recently published
a paper describing potential attacks on sites by sending badly
formed headers in web requests. The new parser imposes a strict
interpretation of RFC
2616.
As in Dare's case, it may be necessary to disable this new
behaviour if you communicate with servers that do return invalid
headers such as including spaces in header names. You do this by
adding a new setting to the application .config file:
<system.net>
<settings>
<httpWebRequest useUnsafeHeaderParsing="true" />
</settings>
</system.net>
