--- Comment #3 from Mark Rowe (bdash) <mrowe at apple.com>  2009-07-21 13:01:52 PDT ---
To summarize, there are two issues here:
1) The server is sending a Content-Length header that it shouldn't be.  If it
did not send this header then all would be well.
2) CFNetwork gets confused by the Content-Length header and tries to read data
that did not arrive.  If it ignored the Content-Length header on 304 responses
then all would be well.

Since both of the issues are outside of the control of WebKit, there's nothing
WebKit itself can do to address this problem.  I will migrate this bug in to
Radar to track a CFNetwork fix for the second issue.  If you have any technical
contacts at company hosting the content I would suggest pointing them at this
bug report and having them address the first issue.
