This sounds like a broken CGI program relying on broken browsers. The
most common error when this happens it that the program relies on a \r\n
after a POST request. Doing this is not permitted (both sending the
extra \r\n, or relying on it).

You could try to disable persistent_client_posts.

persistent_client_posts off

The correct fix is of course to fix the CGI program, not to try to work
around it at the proxy level.
