Default Invalid syntax error on some URL links in OE

I'm having trouble with URL links in OE (6.00.2900.2180) - when I
click on some links in messages the open up IE but it displays
"Invalid Syntax Error".


Weirdly the link causing problems was
http://track.dhlgroup.co.uk/tracking



Try tacking a trailing slash (/) on that.
Here is the first thing that comes back when you leave it off.


example
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/4.1
Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2006 05:50:32 GMT
Location: http://track.dhlgroup.co.uk/tracking/
Content-length: 0
Content-type: text/html
Connection: close
/example


Another thing to check is the HTTP version that you are using.
The server might be returning "Invalid Syntax Error" if you were
trying to use HTTP 1.0 protocol. Etc.


Tracing the transaction would be the best way to discover
what is really happening and what the symptom really means.


Good luck
