Hi there,

I am sorry if this a duplicate. I have been using this request for a very long time:

---
HEAD http://site/folder/file.txt HTTP/1.0
Host: site:80
---

and it used to work just fine. However when I did update my CentOS 7 server to the latest version - this started giving 400 vs 200...

I have downgraded httpd:

and it works again - could you please clarify the change?
Best wishes,
Oleg.

Maybe you're sending CR or LF instead of CR LF.  A vulnerability fix tightened conformance to the spec.  Anyones guess without logs.
