That sounds *really* interresting.

You seem to have the clue that I was looking for. Apache doesn't seem to 
listen to port 80, but port 9010 and 16080. It seems that natd is 
handling port 80.

Can anybody confirm this?

Regards,

Michael.

I have looked a little closer and found that this problem is caused by 
the program "webperfcache", which looks a lot like a specialized Apache 
configured as reverse proxy. The fact that this piece of software dies 
when you try to use an URL longer than around 500 chars makes it 
completely useless. I'll report the error to Apple.

Thanks!

Regards,

Michael.
