Packet sniffing for me shows that Privoxy drops the connection early:
Not the whole document goes through. Please confirm if in your case
privoxy gets the *whole* page, or not.

Anyway, it is an upstream bug: It shows up even if my patch is not
applied. You might want to consider to report it upstream. (I fear the
answer you'll get will be along the lines of "no time, we are
concentrating on improving the 3.0.x line", though)

I don't think this changes anything.

This site is served by Zope. Do you know any other web site served by
Zope? Does it work? Let's try www.zope.org. That one works.

OK. Are there any other web sites hosted on the same machine as
www.hb-rights.org? Do they work?
