useUnsafeHeaderParsing (KB 888527)

Hello,

Based on the information provided by
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=KB888527

one should be able to add a useUnsafeHeaderParsing attribute to the
<httpWebRequest> element in the Machine.config file on a .NET 1.0 SP3
machine.

I have .NET 1.0 SP3, but when I add this attribute using the syntax (exactly
as shown in the KB):

<system.net>
    <settings>
            <httpWebRequest useUnsafeHeaderParsing = "true"/>
    </settings>
</system.net>

to either the machine.config or to the app.config file, I receive an
Exception that says that an invalid configuration was found.

What can I do?

Thanks,
Arsen
