Weird weird bug...

This is very odd. When I post *this* HTTP request, it's all fine


POST http://www.livejournal.com:80/cgi-bin/log.cgi HTTP/1.1
Host: www.livejournal.com
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-length: 232

mode=postevent&user=test&
password=test&
event=This+test+%2Ashould%2A+segfault+
clive+because+I+use+

But when I post this other HTTP request, I don't get anything back. It's rather weird.

Any suggestions?
