Lighttpd

From what I can see, the problem is that your browser sends a Content-Length header during a GET request. (GET requests cannot contain a message-body; according to RFC2068 the Content-Length header signals that a message-body follows)

Lines 542-545 of request.c:

    case HTTP_METHOD_GET:
    case HTTP_METHOD_HEAD:
        /* content-length is forbidden for those */
        if (con->request.content_length != -1) {

I guess you could change it to something like this, to be more lenient.

        if (con->request.content_length <= 0) {

(That should be a > instead of a <=, sorry)

After changing that line, everything works well. We will contact Nokia and ask them to change their software to be RFC-compatible, but I think that the patch above should be included in main lighttpd source.

The same RFC incompatibility exists with the popular PHP SOAP library, nuSOAP. Here is a fix if anyone finds this page while trying to figure out the 400 errors with nuSOAP, like me :)

Also occurs on some Motorola phones

Well the above solution is inappropriate better would be something like this solution below. Some HTTP client libraries send a content-length = 0 which is somehow in line with the RFC. Its just a question of the interpretation. Apache deals with it in the same way.

if (con->request.content_length != 1 && con->request.content_length != 0) {

Sorry thats the right one

if (con->request.content_length != 1 && con>request.content_length != 0) {
