If you are, like me, a user of NewsGator, and, like me, an avid fan of the Gillmor Gang, you have not been able to read the Gang's blog (or the blog of the producer, Doug Kaye) for a while due to an "HTTP violation" error.
Having checked that those blogs actually contained new posts, I have found this work around on Andrew's blog:
Create a file called outlook.exe.config in the same directory as Outlook (on one of my machines, this is in c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11). Then add the following text to this file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<configuration>
<system.net>
<settings>
<httpWebRequest useUnsafeHeaderParsing="true" />
</settings>
</system.net>
</configuration>Stop Outlook (make sure it's really stopped - Outlook takes a few seconds, at least, to truly stop), and restart it.
Note that you might get a popup stating "This operation failed" the first time you try to restart Outlook. The following attempt works. This worked for me on Windows 2000 and Windows XP (latest SPs), and Outlook 2003.
His post actually contains an explanation of the issue (but I doubt you care). Thank you Andrew!
Awesome! It's about time I found that. Thanks a bunch!
