Many commercial IPS products fail to decode HTTP requests which use 0x0c,

you can use many more than that.  fill spaces with non printable and
apache (and a few others) will eat it fine.  \x01-\x1f, except ESC,
maybe CR/LF depending on placement...

is there a page somewhere that details which web servers handle sloppy
input?  (i bet the embedded httpd's are the most resistant)
