    Hi Ross82,

    Such an error appear when you have something wrong in your parameters. If you haven't reformatted your headers to post them here, then you have wrong HTTP header (every header in the header block should appear in a single line - your arguments are spread on multiple lines - bad syntax). If not exactly this, then there is something similar. In all cases there is content:

    A human readable text that explains in details what's wrong. Something you have cut. 😉 In other words - you have ignored the answer of your question. 😀

    Hope this gives direction.
