Re: RealPlayer Plus 4.0 and HTTP/1.1 headers (fwd)

Sheesh.  Two months to respond to mail to support@, and then it is
responded to by a clueless autoresponder person that doesn't understand
anything.  Sigh. 

Good thing this was solved long ago.  Yet another little company trying to
make itself look like MS by being silly.

MS is a part-owner of Progressive Networks AFAIK. So it's natural for
them to act silly.

Heh! ;)

That's one of the funniest names I have seen in a while.  That last name
translates almost exactly to "WideHips" in Danish.
