[HtmlUnit] Problems with Apache 1.3.19

[<Mik...@su...>]

My test suite runs fine when my application is running inside WebSphere Studio
Application Developer 4.0.2, but not when running inside WebSphere Application
Server 4.0.1 and IBM HTTP Server 1.3.19 I get intermittent exceptions like the
one below.

     [java] [WARN] HttpMethod - -Recoverable exception caught when reading
response
     [java] org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpRecoverableException: Error in
parsing the status line from the response: unable to find line starting with
"HTTP/"

I don't have time to narrow this down to a simple test case at the moment, but I
thought you might want some early feedback.

I am using HtmlUnit sources from 10/11/2002 including the httpclient jar from
CVS.  I tried using httpclient 2.0-alpha1 and a httpclient daily build from
9/19/2002.  I got a different exception messages from all 3 jars, but the net
result was the same.

Note the IE 5.5 has no problems with the application.
