WordPress and Windows XP SP2 Woes
October 23rd, 2004
A few weeks ago my weblog and some others stopped working (with at least NewsGator, IntraVnews and SharpReader). I was busy with other things so I hoped that the problem would somehow sort itself out, but it didn’t. After many hours of research (and deleting any possibly offending XML from my blog), Pete from http://pete99.net and I figured out that it was a result of my upgrade to Windows XP SP2 couple with a bad header being generated by WordPress. (See http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/afontes/archive/2004/10/15/28726.aspx for one of the many descriptions of the problem.) So those of you running WordPress 1.2 should change “Last Modified” to “Last-Modified” in wp-blog-header.php.
Now I have to go and add all of my deleted old posts and links back. Of course I no longer remember the original post dates so old posts may look like they are new.

This is great to know. From my investigations, it seems that this stems from a patch to HTTP security. It also affects people who’ve upgraded to the latest .NET Framework release. RSS Bandit (a .NET-based newsreader) updated their latest release with a workaround, but it’s nice to see news on how to actually fix the problem at its source.
It should be noted that this problem also stops Bloglet subscriptions from working properly, since WP users must power their Bloglet accounts off of a RSS feed. Bloglet is hosted on Microsoft IIS and appears to be built on ASP.NET.
