Mochiweb parse bug?

[Nils Breunese <n....@vpro.nl>]

Hello all,

I have a strange problem. I can access a list view just fine from 
Firefox and curl, but when doing an JSTL include from a JSP page (using 
c:import) CouchDB returns a HTTP 500 error for the exact same URL.

I enabled debug logging in CouchDB and get this for a request from 
Firefox and then a request from a JSP page: 
http://friendpaste.com/4f5PUEUqCVzQFK7X13MYeO

Is there something wrong with the request or is this a bug in mochiweb? 
Seems like mochiweb has trouble parsing the request?

It looks like the JSP thing is sending a bad header in the GET request:

{'Content-Type',"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"},

So mochi is probably trying to parse the form (which doesn't exist).

This is wild speculation on my part but I'm guessing dropping that
header would fix things.
