I am unable to reproduce this.  When I visit the HTTP submit URL, it
seem to work as it should (this is the expected output when not using
the popcon script to submit reports):

  % HEAD http://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi
  200 OK
  Connection: close
  Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2006 22:40:28 GMT
  Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/4.3.10-16 DAV/1.0.3
  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
  Client-Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2006 22:40:28 GMT
  Client-Peer: 192.25.206.10:80

  % GEThttp://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi
  Debian Popularity-Contest HTTP-POST submission URL
  Visit http://popcon.debian.org/ for more info.

I also tried to submit a new report from my laptop, and this did not
give any errors to syslog, which it should if it failed to get the
proper reply from the HTTP server.

  # /etc/cron.weekly/popularity-contest
  # grep popularity-contest /var/log/messages

Are you still seeing the problem?  If so, I suggest checking for HTTP
proxies between your machine and popcon.debian.org.

Redusing severity to normal, as this do not affect all users.
