Popcon-upload fails to recognize a successful upload. The popcon web server replies within 2 seconds with the following banner, still popcon ends up aborting with a timeout after 30 seconds:


HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Date: Wed, 01 Feb 2006 19:59:48 GMT
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/4.3.10-16 DAV/1.0.3

Thanks for your submission to Debian Popularity-Contest!
DEBIAN POPCON HTTP-POST OK

Running popcon-upload with the -d switch doesn't give any useful output at all, as it never reaches the line where the content is matched against the "DEBIAN POPCON HTTP-POST OK" pattern.
