    Hi,
    I'm suddenly unable to access boards through the url www.boards.ie. It fails with a 400 Bad Request error:

    Bad Request
    Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

    Request header field is missing colon separator.

    [Snipped huge numerical string]

    Apache/1.3.37 Server at www-srv-4.boards.ie Port 80

    Everything is fine if I use a server-specific url e.g. www-srv-3.boards.ie as I'm doing now - but this workaround leads to frequent apparently random logouts.

    Any suggestions what might be going on please? Is it me, my browser (firefox 2.0.0.3), or something at your end?

    Regards,
    Bruce

    Why did you snip the numerical string? What happens if you browse www-srv-4 ?

    I seem unable to login via www.boards but srv-4 seems to work ok. I wonder if that's the same thing.

    Are you using the same browser?

    Seems OK on that and all other specific servers. The problem is intermittent - I recently upgraded to ff 2.0.0.3 - was on 1.? before & never had any problems.

    Thanks Seamus, that seems to have done the trick.
