  The remote webserver is broken, it sends http1.1 replies on http1.0
requests :

http://web-sniffer.net/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.baylor.edu%2F&submit=Submit&http=1.0h&gzip=yes&type=GET&ua=Mozilla%2F5.0+%28Windows%3B+U%3B+Windows+NT+5.1%3B+nl%3B+rv%3A1.8%29+Gecko%2F20051111+Firefox%2F1.5+Web-Sniffer%2F1.0.23

Advice : - install the latest STABLE release, much code has been added
              to deal with weirdo remote webserver, and provide some sane
              handling for various cases.

            - another benefit is that the redhat rpm's have all
configure options
              are enabled , which is overkill.
              Configure only what you need, when installing the latest
STABLE release.
