With webkit-gtk-1.1.2 and epiphany-2.27.0 accessing http://news.ycombinator.com does not work.

Comment 1 Dan Winship 2009-03-16 16:30:25 UTC 
This is a bug in the software running that website (Arc?). It's using plain LF as a delimiter between header lines instead of CRLF (and LF LF instead of CRLF CRLF between the header and body):

read(13, "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\nConnection: close\n\n"..., 8192) = 74

There's already a bug filed about making libsoup deal with that. Not sure when it will be fixed. (You could also try to get the website fixed :).
