You have been subscribed to a public bug: Evolution and/or libCamel are constructing the HTTP request incorrectly when loading images.
The following HTML e-mail excerpt (from a PS3-related e-mail): <img src="http://images.innovyx.net/dp/scea/ps3news/012309/i/ftr/ps3n0608_verytop.jpg"; width="121" height="10" border="0" /> ...is generating the following HTTP request (captured from Wireshark): GET http://images.innovyx.net/dp/scea/ps3news/012309/i/ftr/ps3n0608_verytop.jpg HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: CamelHttpStream/1.0 Evolution/2.24.3 Host: images.innovyx.net Notice that the entire URL (the absoluteURI - http://images.innovyx.net/dp/scea/ps3news/012309/i/ftr/ps3n0608_verytop.jpg) is included the as the Request-URI, rather than just the absolute path (abs_path). This request is NOT being made to a proxy server, so according to the HTTP/1.0 protocol (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.0/draft-ietf-http- spec.html#Request-Line), the Request-URI should be an absolute path. The web server in this request doesn't understand the request and therefore gives an HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request. The HTTP request should only send the absolute path when a proxy server is not being used. For some sites, this appears to work, but for others it doesn't. I'm guessing this is a bug in libCamel, since it should know that a proxy server is not being used and construct the request line properly.
