Do you run with strict http or not? "StrictHTTP=true"
I would guess that the web site sends broken http header that only works if
you do not use strict http.
I have not checked yet, but I will, but the fact that it works for Sam
seems to be an indication (he uses StrictHTTP=false).

Using strict http is in ways better and needed to pass the http test suite
but many web sites sends broken http headers...

The normal cause for this is that they something like a perl program that
does this:

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"
print "<html......"

This is broken the http line separator is \r\n and the above ought to 
have two
line separators after the content type.
Both IE and mozilla happily accepts the broken format....
