[OSM-dev] API 0.4 and HTTP 417

I was trying to run OJW's coast_upload.pl script. This worked
fine last week, and now I have adopted it to OSM API 0.4 (this
adoption is not yet in SVN). But I'm getting nothing but HTTP 417
responses. That means HTTP_EXPECTATION_FAILED, and looking at the
Ruby code in the Rails port, this is sent on segment creation if
the source and destination node are the same. However, I get this
error on node creation.
I tried everything, until I desperately tried to change the URL
from /api/0.4/node/create to /bananas/0.4/node/create and then I
still got the 417 response.
I guess my request never reaches the Ruby/Rails scripts and their
elaborate tests. Instead it's something in the HTTP server that
returns 417 to me. This seems to be lighttpd. Was that the case
before the Rails port too?
This script is written in Perl with the WWW::Curl::Easy library.
It doesn't set USERAGENT or Content-Type. This worked fine before
the Rails port, but now I only get 417 errors.
Any hints are welcome.
