Bug in Kerberized telnet??

[Carretti Enrico]

Hi all, I'd like to submit you a problem: I've configured kerberos properly on 
a machine; I've done all the necessary configuration and I can locally perform 
"kerberized" telnet sessions, in fact I've replaced the UNIX daemon with the 
kerberized one. On the same machine I've also installed Apache, becouse in my 
plan I have to let Apache and Kerberos "talk" (with mod_auth_kerb). The 
configuration of the web server is fine, in fact I point my browser on the 
port 80 and I can see the default page of Apache. See that Apache and Kerberos 
are NOT YET in communication! The problem comes now: I want to test the 
correct installation of Apache simulating an HTTP session with telnet (using 
the kerberized version of client and server, of course) and I perform: 
$ telnet -a <my.machine> 80 
GET / HTTP/1.1 
Host: <my.machine> 
 
but Apache returns an error, the 501 (i.e. Method not implemented). This is 
quite strange but comes clearer if I look to error.log, where I have  
 
[...] "\xff\xfb%GET / HTTP/1.0" 501 304 
 
This means that before GET there are some other characters ( \xff\xfb% ), as 
you see not written by me, that make the request fail. Trying with a non 
kerberized client to preform the same process I get a correct answer by the 
server. 
Now the final question: those strange characters before GET are something like 
the end of the stream of the negotiation with the kerberized telnet server put 
there for error?? My respects
