[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#343509: often get "400 bad request" on web interface

[Frederik Eaton]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-13
Severity: normal

Often when I try to connect to the CUPS web interface, e.g. with

w3m http://localhost:631/

I get a message "400 Bad Request" and nothing else. Sometimes it
works, but more often I get this message. I think a more informative
message would be helpful.
