Befuddling web servers for fun

sub test_get_11trailingcrap_knowngood()
{
# So, does trailing crap after the HTTP/1.1 cause a panic?
#
# Lots of fun stuff ... some ignore the crap,
# some think "stupid client, must be 1.0, here you go",
# some get confused about the url and return a 404,
# some reject with 400, some spew an error page
# with no headers at all ("stupid 0.9 client, go away")...
#
# ...and some are just endearingly confused about it all.
# UNKNOWN 400 Bad Request
