 That would make sense if there were one or more proxies between myself
 and the FreeBSD servers, which to my knowledge there is not.
 
 If RFC 2616 requires reporting a 417 error code then that's what must be
 done.  Although it might be nice to also include a note saying that the
 PR submission was successful anyway.
