HTTP protocol error

I use an RSS newsreader called Aggie and lately, I’ve come across a couple of newsfeeds that cause Aggie to show an error about an HTTP protocol violation. After some rooting around, it turns out to be a problem on the web server side of things, but there’s a workaround for the .NET libraries. I created a aggie.exe.config file in the Aggie folder, with the text from Jeff Clavier’s entry, and everything seems to work now.

I suppose it may degrade some of the error handling, and maybe there should be a notification for the feed in violation, but now I can subscribe without problem.
