IE6 causes HTTP 400 for dynamic pages on my server

[Markus Ewald]

It seems like I cannot access any URLs on my server containing a
question mark with IE6. The server, running Apache 2.0.55, produces the
following logs:

Internet Explorer 6
"GET /main HTTP/1.1" 301 305
"GET /main/ HTTP/1.1" 302 -
"GET /main/modules/overview/index.php? HTTP/1.1" 400 293

Firefox 1.5
"GET /main HTTP/1.1" 301 305
"GET /main/ HTTP/1.1" 302 -
"GET /main/modules/overview/index.php? HTTP/1.1" 200 25309
"GET /main/modules/general/mim_status.php? HTTP/1.1" 200 737

As far as I can tell, this seems to happen with any default installation
of Internet Explorer 6. The site accessed via HTTPS with a self-signed
certificate. I already tried adding the site in question to the trusted
sites list in case there was some kind of cookie problem, but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Ok, solved it (of course; *after* posting in the newsgroup). It's just a
major bug in Internet Explorer 6, a little hack for the apache web
server that fixes it server-sided can be found here:
