Thanks for the suggestion.  Updating had no effect, though.

The exception occurs when

FExpires := GMTToLocalDateTime(Values['Expires']); {do not localize}

and Values['Expires'] is a pointer to the null-terminated string -1, as:

-1\0

or '-1'

This is from procedure TIdEntityHeaderInfo.ProcessHeaders;



function GMTToLocalDateTime(S: string): TDateTime; calls

Result := RawStrInternetToDateTime(S);  passing a pointer to -1 as S

This causes     Result := EncodeDate(Yr, Mo, Dt); to pass Yr=1900, Mo=0,
Dt=-1, and an exception is thrown by Sysutils::EncodeDate

So, all in all, when the HTTP header string Values['Expires'] either is -1, or
is set to -1, then the problem exists.
