Trailing CRLF on POSTs
This is a legacy issue. The CERN webserver required POST data to have an extra CRLF following it. Thus many clients send an extra CRLF that is not included in the Content-Length of the request. Apache works around this problem by eating any empty lines which appear before a request.

Thank a lot!

I fail to read a question in here.  Please restate your question from scratch?
