No. IIRC there are quirks in flood to make it work with various (buggy)
web servers.

Your test might fall because flood is using 'verify_200' for response
verification, like this:

<verify_resp>verify_200</verify_resp>

Such verification will fail in some cases (e.g. when response is
HTTP/1.0). Please try this:

<verify_resp>verify_status_code</verify_resp>

It is a bit slower (tokenizes response header), but is more
bullet-proof. Hope this helps.
