How does this Known Problem in Clients solve?

Trailing CRLF on POSTs
This is a legacy issue. The CERN webserver required POST data to have an
extra CRLF following it. Thus many clients send an extra CRLF that is not
included in the Content-Length of the request. Apache works around this
problem by eating any empty lines which appear before a request.

Thank a lot!

I fail to read a question in here. Please restate your question from scratch?

[.Or if this was in response to a question please keep it threaded and don't
switch subjects ;-]
