I agree that the servers are broken, but without Polipo in between most browsers will display the web page, so users have come to desire that behaviour. Falk, Greg, please feel free to complain to the admins of any webserver that causes Polipo to behave like this. The server is broken. Juliusz, perhaps it would be worth while to add to the error page: "The server http://xxx.xxx has a bug", and perhaps a diagnostic as well. > Tom, could you please downgrade this bug report to ``wishlist''?

Falk, Greg, I suspect you've already thought of setting the broken sites to be ignored in your browser settings, but I thought I'd mention it as a simple work around, for the time being.
